Revell of Germany has released four cars from the 2009 season of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM, German Touring Car Masters).
The years 2008 and 2009 were marked by the dominance of Audi. Timo Scheider took the driver's championship in these years, giving Mercedes the runner-up position (Paul di Resta in 2008 and Gary Paffett in 2009).

However despite four overall wins and a total of 59 points, the best Mercedes pilot came in as runner-up behind Timo Scheider, but his convincing performance again secured the constructor's title for Mercedes.

I've built the Audi and most of the Mercedes and have been pretty impressed by these kits... nice engineering and pretty good details. Decals are pretty sweet too. All-in-all I think Revell's efforts seem to be pretty top-notch as of late. I'm looking forward to thier forthcoming F-1 releases.... Sure wish they'd do the Red Bulls.
