Trends Hobby Porsche 911 GT3 R and GT1: The Racing Stories Behind the 1:64 Models

A race-car model is only as interesting as the race behind it. That is the idea that makes Trends Hobby's Porsche models worth a closer look: each livery is tied to a real result. This guide goes through the Porsche races and cars behind the 1:64 models, so you know the story before you choose a livery. If you are new to the brand, start with our Trends Hobby buyer's guide for India.

2024 Le Mans: The LMGT3 Class Win (#91)

The Porsche 911 GT3 R #91 represents the Manthey EMA car that won the LMGT3 class at the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans. LMGT3 was a brand-new GT class that year, and the team won on its Le Mans debut in the class. The drivers were Richard Lietz of Austria, Morris Schuring of the Netherlands and Yasser Shahin of Australia. They completed 281 laps. It is the livery to pick if you want the winner.

The sister car (#92)

Its team-mate, the Porsche 911 GT3 R #92 from Manthey PureRxcing, had a harder race. Klaus Bachler, Alex Malykhin and Joel Sturm finished 14th after a gearbox problem needed a pit repair that cost five laps. Collectors often buy the two cars together, because the pair tells the whole story of a 24-hour race: one car that goes to plan and one that fights back.

2026 Bathurst 12 Hour (#911)

The Porsche 911 GT3 R #911 is the Absolute Racing entry from the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour in Australia. Its drivers were Bastian Buus, Matt Campbell and Alessio Picariello. Campbell qualified it fourth, the highest-starting Porsche, and the car finished sixth overall and fourth in the Pro category after a race of overtakes.

Absolute Racing will be familiar to our regular readers, because Almost Real has made models in its liveries too. See our feature on Almost Real x Absolute Racing if you want to compare the same team across two brands.

Manthey Racing

The Porsche 911 GT3 R, Manthey Racing belongs to the same Manthey family of cars that appears at Le Mans. It is a good starting point if you want a Porsche GT3 R in a proper race livery.

The 1998 Le Mans Legend: Porsche 911 GT1

The Porsche 911 GT1 LM 1998 takes you back further. In 1998, in Porsche's 50th anniversary year, the 911 GT1 won Le Mans outright. The winning car was the #26, driven by Laurent Aiello, Allan McNish and Stéphane Ortelli, and Porsche took a one-two finish with the sister car. The 1998 car also had the first carbon-fibre chassis in Porsche's history. Check the product page for the exact livery on the model, because the listing names the car by year rather than by race number.

How to Build a Porsche Race Shelf

• By event: Le Mans 2024 (#91 and #92), then Bathurst 2026.

• By team: Manthey and Absolute Racing each give you a story to follow.
