This is the Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) #177 AO Racing 2025 IMSA Long Beach GP in 1:43 scale by True Scale Miniatures.
At the 2025 IMSA Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, the Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) #177 run by AO Racing took on the tight street layout with a strong driver lineup including Klaus Bachler (AUT), Cameron Lauder (USA), and Patrick Lindsey (USA), ultimately finishing 6th in the GTD class against a deep field of professional and pro-am entries. Bachler brought factory-level speed and qualifying pace, Lauder delivered aggressive street-course performance, and Lindsey added valuable endurance experience — a combination that helped the team stay competitive despite the unique challenges of concrete walls and limited passing opportunities. What sets the Long Beach GP apart from many other IMSA events is its urban street circuit, where precision, patience, and tyre management are paramount; the tight confines and unforgiving barriers make qualifying position and clean traffic navigation especially critical in a sprint-race format very different from longer endurance rounds on permanent road courses.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
