A historic victory at La Sarthe, now in your 1/64 scale display case from Spark Models.

Spark Models, a global leader in diecast competition miniatures, has captured that moment in an official 1/64 scale replica (reference Y398) that deserves a prominent place in any serious collection.

Scale and Level of Detail

The 1/64 scale from Spark Models is not the scale of generic toy cars: it is a collector's scale with a premium finish. The exterior decoration faithfully reproduces the official livery of #22, with sponsors, numbers, and colours as they appeared at the Circuit de la Sarthe during the race. The characteristic aerodynamics of the Oreca 07 —rear diffuser, front splitter, adjustable wing— are captured in the mould with a notable level of precision for this size.

For those already collecting in larger scales (1/43 or 1/18), the 1/64 series from Spark allows for the completion of collections of special editions or specific events without sacrificing representation quality.

The Oreca 07 Gibson and United Autosports at Le Mans 2024

The Oreca 07 has been the dominant chassis in the LMP2 category since its introduction in 2017. With the Gibson GK428 4.2L V8 engine —a development exclusive to the category— it offers homologated power and proven reliability in the longest endurance races in the world. United Autosports, a UK-based team founded by McLaren Racing and Zak Brown, arrived at Le Mans 2024 with a driver lineup that combined experience and emerging talent: Oliver Jarvis (a WEC veteran with multiple podiums at Le Mans), Bijoy Garg, and young Nolan Siegel. The result was victory in LMP2 under weather conditions that tested the entire field.
