2006 Championship winner

[Leigh]

Just found this (http://www.biante.com.au/product_18229.htm)...but it is awfully difficult to find as it is completely unsearchable! Likewise, why is it "Sold Out"?

Will a 1:43 be produced? I will be mightiliy dissapointed if it is not!

Damn beat me to it :D

[AmonFan]

Isnt that the same product number as the 2006 Kelly/Kelly Bathurst car?

[Graeme]

Leigh and others,

Don't panic ... we do plan to do Rick Kelly's 2006 V8 Supercar Champion car in all three scales, as raced at Phillip Island. This will be Biante's swansong model in relation to our involvement with the current V8 Supercar Championship Series ... and it will replace the previously scheduled 2006 Bathurst models.

The website product listings have been temporarily disabled pending an 'official' announcement to the Biante retail stockists.

[wayno]

I'm a little confused. Is that the season car, but just the information has been updated?

Ok. Thanks. A good way to bow out with a championship winning model though. ;)

[Malik]

what about doing the HRT Brock tribute car as well given biante's long standing relationship with Brock it seems strange that you arent doing this last car.

perhaps you should tell HRT that

From what was said before back around Bathurst time, Biante wanted to do the cars however HRT wasn't so interested.

[monarocveightz]

So you (Biante) are not making the 2006 Bathurst 2nd place getter, and are know making the championship winner instead? am i correct?

[brchi17]

So you (Biante) are not making the 2006 Bathurst 2nd place getter, and are know making the championship winner instead? am i correct?

that's the way I understand it ;)

[Graeme]

Correct ... the 2006 Bathurst runner-up car will be shelved in favour of the 2006 Championship winning car ... 1:18, 1:43 and 1:64 scales.

[vikings100]

When will these be released?

[Graeme]

We will endeavour to have the models produced early in 2007, but with Chinese New Year interruptions, we cannot give a precise release date yet - best guess at the present time would be sometime post-April 2007.

[Bianteking]

well that suxs I was wanting the bathurst car for my 1-2 finish, and "championship car" is the same as the general release car. I think kelly should be remembered for the way he drive at bathurst not how he won the championship.

Same, i was looking forward to getting a 1-2, now i have to cross that one off my list as i am not after the championship winning one, oh well ill be getting a HQ Monaro instead now (if i can get my hands on one)

[the_goldie]

Bit of ashame about the Bathurst car not being made as it was different from the normal season car... Oh well... Will get the 1/43 scale to go in my championship collection.

[mick xu1]

Bummer, i was exited about getting a Bathurst car with both the Kelly boys name on it....anyway that the way it goes

[singer]

Goldie,

What about a Code 3 2006 Bathurst. You did the Wynns, why not go for a TOLL?;) a then give the rest of us instructions on how to make 1

[lukey73]

Same here, if they were making both i would have got both but might re-think that if its only the Championship car. The Bathurst car would have been so much better.

[jediholden]

It works out well for me as I purposely held off buying Rick's car in favour of the Bathurst. But now the C/Ship instead. Oh well, would've liked to have had the brothers names on the car, but, alas..

[Leigh]

...and here's the 1:43 (http://www.biante.com.au/product_18228.htm);):D

[Tumbo]

interesting decision really; at least the Bathurst car was driven by the two brothers; this one has what 1 different logo that being the door one???

[jediholden]

Wont it retain the #15. I thought the #1 would come out next year if the other boys do it?

[Richard Poole]

Interesting that you guys would have prefered the Bathurst car to championship car. Going by the order quantities we received from stores for the Bathurst model there aren't that many of you out there (either that or nobody told their store that they wanted the bathurst edition). I'd prefer the Bathurst model as well but all the focus now is on the champion edition.

[jediholden]

Richard, what differences will have to the standard edt?
Thanks.

[Tumbo]

I meant more the event sticker being the final round or whatever it said rather than the car's no.

My store has never asked, they just tell me what's coming, come to think of it neither has the Biante website shop & I've bought off them enough to be in the 'loop' :p ;)

[brchi17]

there was also a 'new' HSV logo that was under the ROH wheels on the front 1/4 panels that I'd not noticed before ;)

Ok. I thought thats what you meant after I posted.

[Richard Poole]

Top of my head with the photo's being at work we have the following differences

event logo
bonnet
rear window
rear wing end plates
C-pillar
behind the rear wheels
Pirtek on nose
Biante logo
Orix on the rear bumper
HSV behind front wheels
clubsport GTS senator on rear of boot lid
side skirts
no fuel fillers

Enough to be different from the Clipsal version

Bathurst had the E-series vents on the sides and a different bonnet design which would have looked good.

[Richard Poole]

You must hang around kids a lot to become that sarcastic! :D

It was listed on the site and people added it to their watchlist. Not many people, but some did. That's how we judge interest on the site. I don't know if shops order by the interest they expect or actually ask their customers if they would like to order. Either way we didn't get the orders we expected so we had to move on to the champion edition. If you want this one then TELL your retailer now so that they know to order it.

[brchi17]

....If you want this one then TELL your retailer now so that they know to order it.

Rich, I want one :D !!!

[Tumbo]

just looking at Brad's pics will the new wheels make an appearance Rich?

[Richard Poole]

Rich, I want one :D !!!

Please add it to your watchlist then. I cannot actually register your interest through the forum as it may be taken as advertising which, as you know, is against forum rules :p

Note: Inside joke, don't worry if you don't understand.

[HrtTassieFan]

My closest Dealer's a 100 klm's away, So i guess i'll be ringing him:), Judgeing by the differences this model's gonna look ace alongside the clipsal version.

[Richard Poole]

just looking at Brad's pics will the new wheels make an appearance Rich?

No, Rick didn't run the new wheels in the races. Mark used them as he was the furthest down in the championship. They didn't want to risk using them on Ricks car during the races.

[Tumbo]

thanks for the info Richard; understandable non-inclusion

[brchi17]

No, Rick didn't run the new wheels in the races. Mark used them as he was the furthest down in the championship. They didn't want to risk using them on Ricks car during the races.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that the only time Rick ran them was during the dieing minutes of qualifying.....

Interesting to note that from the HRT & HSVDT group that it was Mark and Garth that were running with them while the Kelly brothers stuck with the traditional 5 spoke

[Richard Poole]

I think you're right Brad. Mark ran them right through the weekend but Rick only tried his new shoes on on Friday.

Speaking to a few crew members they weren't really impressed as the gap between the spokes is too small to get your fingers in there in a hurry, especially with gloves on. The new wheels do have more room inside and the brakes and hubs can be mounted differently so there is a possible advantage there.

[wayno]

Glad to hear that as I wondered how the new wheels would be for the poor guy changing them. In races where the stop is not limited by fuel flow to the car I really wonder if any advantage they give would be worth the risk of a botched pit stop.

I think you'll find the Bathurst car is/was already on my watch list so Noddy won't have to take away your privileges......:p LOL

[Bianteking]

my model shop told me when I asked that he wasn't going to get them and I rang today and he wont be getting the champion edition because he thinks they will be like the classics version and be a slow sale, and because of the way he won the championship

[Bianteking]

just for fun why don't we have a poll on which car forum members would prefer

Any idea's when the new livery will be revealed to the adoring fans

Thanks for that Richard. I noticed a couple of changes on the car over the weekend myself. Cant wait to get it.

[Leigh]

Richard,

You should probably be aware that most shops I've dealt with order by drawing straws, or worse throwing darts at pieces of paper with numbers on them...if this is the way models get chosen, then it is a disgrace!

I think what we all might have to do is order these things from multiple shops to boost the numbers;):p It will work for a few models, then we have to come up with a new method!

[vikings100]

Hey designer, will the car be simular to this years (orange/black)?, or be something brand new?
Cheers Greg:)

[Leigh]

I reckon it should be YELLOW...makes so much sense...

The cars were red in 2005, orange in 2006 and yellow in 2007

Would also annoy Wayne as to what shade of yellow it would be;):p

[Designer]

If you think think this year's car is OK, then you'll love next year's car.

[brchi17]

.......Would also annoy Wayne as to what shade of yellow it would be;):p

Gee you're certainly getting some milage out of that one ;)

You two must be nearly back to square by now :D LOL !!!

[vikings100]

Cheers mate, but would have liked a bit more than that, but I understand, my father has the same problem when people ask him about cars, he builds prototypes at Fishermans Bend, has done for 38yrs now.i new about the VE about 10 years ago.
Cheers Greg

[Leigh]

Yeah well, I had said to myself today that I'd probably pushed too far, but I just couldn't resist in this thread:p

Maybe he'll report it and the Mod's will clean it up;)

So what can you tell us about the Commodore getting replace by a "3 Series" sized car after 2010??

[Chev_350]

Early Next year .... it's taking shape nicely.

So was there a slight change in the design the now that Toll is the Champion team....apart from the #1 on the side.

[vikings100]

As my old man says, "My lips are shut,sunshine!". as he reads this forum as well and nows my name on here.:( He and I could get into alot of trouble, just like designer can.:)

[Rob]

There's actually a fair few subtle changes between the look of the Round 1
and Round 13 cars:

Round Sponsor over number
Number now all on door (not half on door half on gaurd)
No Biante on side skirts
Kenworth (now on side skirt) swaps with McMillian
McMillian (now on side of bar) swaps with Kenworth
PPG on side of rear bar
Orix logo all white
Pirtek logo white with black keyline
TW logo on C-pillar
Yellow ribbon on C-pillar
Small HSV logo below ROH on gaurd
Different logo on wing end plate
HSV E Series on bonnet
Clubsport GTS Senator Signature across the decor panel

[Graeme]

... and didn't anybody notice :

Biante logos with white infill, as opposed to the orange infill at the beginning of the year.

[SWRT]

I'd rather the Bathurst car, because it was a much better and 'cleaner' race (loads more exiting).

[wayno]

I think he'll just settle it on the track next year.....I must admit I'm templed to paint a target onto the back of your car :p

On topic please guys. Richard is going to tell me what colour yellow Stubbers thing is so it's not a problem.
Must admit I'm looking forward to getting the Kelly Phillip Island car. Will be my first V8 Supercar for a while.

[Dingo]

... and didn't anybody notice :

Biante logos with white infill, as opposed to the orange infill at the beginning of the year.
Nobody noticed, it was too busy winning the championship :D

[V8SS]

I really wish we could have the 2005 red & black HSVDT bathurst car. That was a really nice livery and would look good alongside this years cars.

[Malik]

and the buick china livery from last year too....

[Richard Poole]

Once again, two cars which received very little interest from our retailers.

[Leigh]

Most model car retailers are the most negative bunch of people I've ever met! They are always wrongly predicting what will and will not be popular! Don't listen to them Richard...I often wonder whether the best model car business model in Australia is Trax's...they seem to be able to sell out of everything in under 2 years, whereas Biante and Classics stock can sit on shelves and in warehouses for much longer:eek:

[CowboyMatt]

Usually after massive discounts on unsold stock. Biante and CC can't make everything guys.

Agree - at the retailer near my work you'd think the only cars ever made were V8 Supercars - I'm sure he even has a Luff DJR car on the shelf.

[Tumbo]

slowing talking myself into getting this.........once its up on the website will add it to watch list to avoid disappointment

[Moffat Fan]

gone

[V8SS]

Is this model still on the website so I can put it on my watchlist. I can't find it.:(

[Leigh]

It's still there...it is unsearchable though and you can't add it to your watchlist ATM:(

I posted a link to the 1:18 in the first post of the thread, and another of my posts has a link to the 1:43:)

[vikings100]

Just got back from model store and put $20 on 2006 Championship Winner Car. Just gotta wait now.

[A9L]

I hope the Kelly Champ car sits like the photo, looks great cant wait!

[00lowndes]

Once again, two cars which received very little interest from our retailers.

The little response from the retailer for all these toll HSV and HRT must mean that these teams are as popular as they used to be. I guess we wont even see them next year as they will be even less popular now. Due to their antics on the weekend. I for 1 would only buy kelly car just to have a wreck in my garage scene.

[Oh Five]

:guitarist:

[the_goldie]

Here is a good idea -- well I think so anyway ;)

Seeing as though TOll HSVDT are the team champions as well why not make a special box package with the Championship winner Rick Kelly and also Garth Tander in 1/43 from Phillip Island.... just a thought...

So you're willing to spend $180.00+ just to have a car look like it's smashed in a diorama. Money well spent:confused:.

[Chev_350]

Anyone know where to pre order this car in 1:18 (and a certain purple concept car made by you know) on the Gold Coast, I don't by that many many Aussie cars, my passion is NASCAR cars. The place who I bought my last couple of cars, V8 Race gallery a while ago, there website now says they are in Beaudesert.

[Oh Five]

BR's

[Chev_350]

and where would they be?....oh are they that mob in helensvale?

[BILLFORD1]

Afraid I don't purchase too much in the way of Supercars but am waiting on release of 06 Bathurst winner....Then might just wait for the 07 Championship winner !!!....:D

Head down to your local HSV dealer.

[Graeme]

Here's a message that I recently posted on another thread " Kelly/Kelly Bathurst Car " :



Toll HSV Dealer Team - 2006 series model cars

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have let this one out to our stockist network to help determine the potential popularity of both the Bathurst #15 car and the Championship (Phillip Island) #15 car.

We'd like to make both in 1:18 scale, but with HSVs blessing we'll wait and see what the order books have to say. I understand that the weight of opinion amongst parties of interest, for one car versus the other, leans more toward the Championship car.

There are 1:43 scale versions to consider too.

I might also mention that the proposed 1:64 scale Twin Pack is intended to consist of the #15 Kelly and #16 Tander cars, as they raced at the Phillip Island finale.

So collectors .... go hound a stockist and have your say as to which of the above Toll HSV Dealer Team cars takes your fancy.

[Leigh]

Playing devils advocate, assuming the above information regarding both a Championship winner AND a Bathurst Kelly/Kelly car being made...who is the manufacturer for each on the order form???

[Graeme]

Leigh,

Check my message above ... it timed onto the forum simultaneously with your query.

[Leigh]

Thank Graeme...that clears that one up;)

[Chev_350]

Head down to your local HSV dealer.

I'd rather not, Robina Holden is expensive and they have dropped the ball on one of my preorders before.

[brchi17]

Head down to your local HSV dealer.

I don't have one :o

In fact I don't have a favourite dealer for Holden's, perhaps I need one, P I T S T O P !!!

I used to get the Commodore serviced at the Holden/HSV dealer not 5 minutes from your place:p

Granted, their model car ordering was not "optimum";)

[monarocveightz]

You wouldn't be able to get one from Robina Holden anyway, the dealership has just sold (new owneres take over at the end of the month) and the shop is not getting anything new in untill it clears old stock

[stevep]

Ok. Thanks. A good way to bow out with a championship winning model though. ;)
Will his new sponsor CHEETA Runners be displayed on the car.

The closed the Pacific Fair shop last year and moved all the stock to Robina, I don't think they got any 2006 models last year and didn't get any HRT merchendise until the last half of the year, I told the Logan store and they didn't believe me.

[jediholden]

The c/ship car for me. If they make both, I'll grab both.

I've just noticed too that both cars are now being made. Bathurst and the C/Ship. Good news,because before i thought it was going to go down to a vote as to which car was favoured more, or is that still happening?

I reckon race 3 turn 4 Phillip Island would get people talking more:p

[Pug205]

Yeah but who would want to own a "Lnowdes" car? It looked horrible.

I kinda knew he was not going to win the series after they showed the livery the week before PI. No car that ugly could win the series and be used in all the photos of him doing the celebration burn outs, etc.

[Leigh]

True.

[ferrari fan]

when available?, please.

I can't wait. The Toll cars are fantastic looking units.

Hi Wayne,great shot . how come your photo came out so clear ,all mine from Phillip Island are C#*p from all the smoke.:D P.S. It was good to meet you at the Clipsal dinner,i'm still recovering from that weekend:dizzy2: :D

[wayno]

It was really a matter of timing as there were gaps in the smoke down towards the water where it was windier if you kept an eye on it. Also spending the price of a second hand small car on lenses helps! :D

Hope it comes with silver paint in the front bumper, only joking, I will get over it one dayyyyyyyy.
Should go nicely with the Jason Richards 'Indy' edition with the silver paint on the rear bumper and a big dent too!:p
