Model citizen-Scott McLaughlin

Success on the race track generally means success off the race track. I would say Scott McLaughlin’s phone started ringing from a young age, and I don’t think it’s going to stop for some time! Along with his pure driving ability, he has wonderful charisma and personality. If Lowndes was the next Brock, Scott McLaughlin is surely the new Lowndes. His popularity has certainly flowed thru to his model cars.

Apex Replicas were lucky enough to start our Scott McLaughlin collection. First there was the GRM Holden Commodores, which gave Scott McLaughlin his first career win in the Supercars at his home track, Pukekohe. The big news of 2013 was GRM gaining factory support to run Volvo S60’s. It was then that Scott McLaughlin showed his pure class by consistently battling for podiums and winning races.

When DJR Team Penske snared the young superstar, it was time for Biante to produce our Scott McLaughlin model cars. These now came with opening doors and bonnet. A championship was almost achieved in his first season in Shell colours, but 2018 was redemption. Throw in the fastest ever lap at the Mountain, and you can expect to see many special Scott McLaughlin models to come.

Authentic collectables are now the DJR Team Penske model maker. The first will be the 2017 Ford Falcon FG-X first drive test car as driven at Queensland Raceway. This will be followed by the 2018 season car. I can also see his 2019 Mustang model being one the hottest releases in a long time. Be sure to pre order that one!

To help you keep track of what has been produced, we have compiled a list to help you chase down any you may have missed.

For you keen Scott McLaughlin fans, let’s hope we get to add many more championship and Bathurst winning models in the future.
