Murray Carter Signs With Biante.
We are proud to announce that Murray Carter has chosen Biante to produce authentic scale replicas of the race cars he has competed in across his long and distinguished career.
Murray drove cars such as GT Falcons, Nissan Skylines, Ford Sierras in the Australian Touring Car Championships and is currently still punting a Corvette along in Nations Cup.
We are hoping we can convince him to drive in a round of the 2004 Biante Model Cars Historic Touring Car Championship next year in our XY GT Falcon.
Possum Bourne
Biante Pty Ltd would like to thank all the collectors who purchased the 1:18th Subaru Commemorative model of Possums 1997 Saxon Safari Rally Subaru.
We would also like to thank the friends and family of Possum for allowing us to make this model, to the Subaru World Rally Team and to the team at Autoart who made this brilliant model
Special mention should also go to the two fanatical collectors who bid on the Biante auction site for two prototype minicars.
On Tuesday we were delighted to send to the Possum Bourne Family Education Trust a donation from the sale of the Subaru models and minicar auction in excess of $55,000 and couldn’t think of a more worthwhile cause.
So thanks everyone.Eastern Creek
Apart from being the final of the V8'swhich we hope will be a terrificcouple of races and may the best man out of Ambrose, Murphy and Skaife win the Championship, there is some exciting things happening in the Historics as well.

V8 Supercars Ride Day.
Through our sponsorship of Holden Racing Team, Kelly Motorsport Team (Kmart) and Team Brock we have managed to secure some rides for our collectors in the VY and VX Commodores at Eastern Creek and Calder Park raceway.
The Team Brock rides will be available on Monday the 1st of December at Eastern Creek Raceway in Sydney.
To be entered into the draw for a ride alongside either Jason Bright or Paul Weel go into the Biante forums ( http://forums.biante.com.au/) and viewthe thread ' WHO WANTS A HOT LAP WITH TEAM BROCK?' and then download the entry form from the first post in that thread.
Take the entry form tothe Historic Touring car pit area on the Saturday of the event and drop your form into the box supplied.
Tickets will be drawn on Saturday night and winners will be notified on Sunday morning. Winners must be able to be at the track onMonday 1st December.
Holden Racing Team and Kelly Motorsport Team will be conducting their drive days at Calder Park Raceway in Victoria on December the 15th.
We are auctioning two rides in the HRT Commodores through www.bianteauctions.comwith all proceeds going to a Biante supported dog home, K9 Dog Rescue in Rockingham here in Western Australia.
Thismarvelous bunch of volunteers saved and re housed over 600 dogs and pups last year, so all funds will go to a great cause.
Please be aware that due to the confines of a racing car some height and weight restrictions will apply and all participants must be over the age of 18, have fully enclosed leather foot wear and sign an indemnity form prior to taking their ride. The teams will supply 3 layer overalls and a helmet to all passengers.
These sort of events are usually closed to all but sponsors and invited guests and rarely do opportunities such as this come along so if you are available in either Sydney or Melbourne on those dates then this is a great opportunity to have a very special day that you will remember for a long time to come.
