1990: Stuck in Audi

Hans Stuck je bio  nemački vozač poznatiji kao "Bergkönig" ili kralj planina. Započeo je svoju vozačku karijeru prevozeći mleko sa svoje farme do Minhena, a kasnije postao legenda brdskih staza. Ali mi nismo ovde da bi pričali o čoveku koji je u svojoj 60-oj godini postao šampion brda, bar ne ovog puta. Ovog puta pričamo o njegovom sinu Hans-Joachim Stuck-u.

Hans Stuck was was a German motor racing driver, also known as "Bergkönig" or "King of the Mountains". Stuck's experience with car racing started in 1922 with early morning runs bringing milk from his farm to Munich, and later he become legend of hillclimbing. But we are not here to talk about man who become champion in his 60s,  not this time. This time we talking about his son Hans-Joachim Stuck.

Hans-Joachim Stuck je čovek koji ima staž od 43 godine u trkama, a vozio je BMW, Ford,  Alfa Romeo, Porsche, Audi i Opel, a da zabeležio je i 74 nastupa u F1.  Svoju karijeru je započeo 1969 na “zelom paklu” Nordschleife, a karijeru je završio 2011 godine na 24h Nürburgring-a vozeći sa dva sina Lamborghini Gallardo LP600+ GT3.  Karijeru je završio na mestu na kome je sa samo 19 godina prvi put pobedio.

 Hans-Joachim Stuck is man who has has experience in racing that lasted 43 years, and he was behind wheel of BMW, Ford,  Alfa Romeo, Porsche, Audi and Opel and he had 74 appearances in F1. He started his career in 1969 on "green hell" 24h of Nordschleife, and  ended his career in 2011 Nürburgring 24 hours, in which he participated with a Reiter Engineering Lamborghini Gallardo LP600+ GT3 together with  his sons Ferdinand Stuck and Johannes Stuck. He ended his career on place where  he record his first win with only 19 years old.

Iako je visok 194 cm uspeo je da se ugura u F1 bolid i zabeleži dva podijuma.  Kada ga je 1978 zamenio Niki Lauda, Stuck počinje da vozi trke širom sveta. Sa Poršeom 962 beleži dve pobede na Le Manu, 1975 postaje roki godine pobedivši 5 puta sa Betmobilom, 1979 postaje šampion BMW M1 Procar serije, pobede na 24h Srebringa, šampion DTM 1990 godine, pobednik na 24h Nürburgring-a 3 puta, vi recite kad da stanem,  pobednik na trkama Formule 2, pobednik u IMSA američkim serijama…

Although  his height of 194 centimetres he  managed to squeeze in an F1 car, and record two podium finishes. When he was replaced in 1978 with Niki Lauda, Stuck starts to drive the races around the world. With a Porsche 962 he recorded two victories at Le Mans in 1975 he becomes rookie of the year wining the five times in the Batmobile, 1979 becomes  the champion of the BMW M1 Procar series, winning the 24h Srebringa, DTM champion in 1990 and winner of the 24h Nürburgring a 3-times,  say when to stop, the winner of the race Formula 2, winner of IMSA american series...

Zlatna era DTM šampionata, fabrički timovi BMW, Mercedes i novonastali fabrički tim Audi.  Ukupno 31 vozač, i neretko se dešava da 15 vozača bude u 1s na kvalifikacijama. Audi na čelu sa Stuck-om ulazi sa V8 motorom, 300 kg automobilom težim od BMW-a, ali Audi ima pogon na sva četiri točka što mu donosi prednost u krivinama jer nema proklizavanja.

DTM 1990

Golden era of DTM championship, the factory teams of BMW, Mercedes and the newly established Audi factory team. A total of 31 drivers, and sometimes it happens that the driver 15 is in the 1 second in qualifying. In head of Audi was Stuck with a V8 engine, 300 kg heavier car than the BMW but Audi has a  advantage of 4x4 drive, which brings advantage in corners because there is no oversteering.

  

Poslednja trka sezona je odličila šampionat da bi Stuck postao šampion morao je da pobedi, a njegov konkurent Johnny Cecotto u BMW-u je morao da bude četvrti. Audi uvodi pojačanje u vidu Frank Jelinski-og, i legende Audija Walter Röhrl, i sa tri auta zauzimaju tri mesta na podijumu što pred 80 hiljada navijača čini Audi sa Stuck-om šampionom.

Audi introduces a reinforcement in the form of Frank Jelinski, and legend Audi Walter Röhrl , Audi with three cars on  three places on the podium in front of 80 thousand fans makes Stuck Audi champion.

  

A sada model

 Pred vama je Minichamps Audi V8 quattro limitiran na 2060 komada, u sjajnoj displaj kutiji. Model je deo Hans J. Stuck kolekcije i uz model dolazi mali katalog modela koji čine tu kolekciju.  Model je težak, farba je solidno urađena, iako se na dva tri  mesta vidi višak iste, farovi i štop svetla iako nerealno izgledaju na slikama uživo izgledaju dosta bolje, brisač, auspuh su zaista na visokom nivou. 

And now model

In front of you is Minichamps Audi V8 quattro limited to 2060 pieces in bright display box. Model is part of Hans J. Stuck collection and model comes with a catalog of models that make up this collection. Model is a tough, paint is ok, even though the two three places you can  see excess of paint, headlights and tail lights are ok, although unrealistic look at images look a lot better in reality , wiper, exhaust are on high level

Felne na Dunlop gumama odaju utisak plastičnosti i na nekim slikama stoje pod čudnim uglom iako to u stvarnosti nije tako. Pod modela je na zavidnom nivou, može se meriti sa nekim 1:18 modelima, ali presudite sami.

Wheels on Dunlop tires give the impression of plasticity and on some images the angles are strange, although in reality it is not so. Under car  is at a high level, and can be measured with some 1:18 models, but better you  judge.

Unutrašnjost je nešto što izdvaja model, rol bar u dve boje, razvučene žice, odlični pojasevi, Recaro kadica. Jedina stvar koja primećujem kao manu je mali višak na  rol baru koji je ostao od kalupa.

The interior is something that stands out model, roll bar in two colors, stretched strings, great belts and Recaro racing seat. The only thing that I notice as a flaw is a small surplus on the roll bar that has remained from the mold.

Na kraju se može reći da se model ističe sa detaljima poput poda, unutrašnjosti, pa i spoljašnosti ali sa nekim greškama koje malo kvare ukupan utisak, ali ipak Minichamps je sa ovim modelom podiogao 1:43 na novi nivo, pogotovo ako se uzme u obzir da model na popustu košta 25e…

Finally, the model stands out with details such as the floor, the interior and even the exterior but with some little mistakes that spoil the overall impression, but Minichamps with this model lift 1:43 scale to a new level, especially if you take into consideration that the model on reduced price cost 25e ...
