Biante Collectors Club Newsletter 22nd July 2008

Hello and welcome once again to an important week at Biante.
There may only be one release this Wednesday but it is a very significant one. The 1996 ATCC Winning VR Commodore driven by Craig Lowndes.

1996 marked an incredible time of domination for HRT driver at the time Craig Lowndes, with an amazing six round wins from a total of ten rounds. Peter Brock's team mate and protege took the chequered flag at Eastern Creek, Sandown, Symmons Plains, Lakeside, Wanneroo and Mallala which meant amassing a point total of 423, easily ahead of the consistent John Bowe on 344 points.
Additionally if the supremacy shown at the sprint rounds that year wasn't enough, Craig (partnered with Greg Murphy) went on to take out the two endurance races at Sandown and Bathurst that year as well!

Biante are extremely proud to offer the 1:18 scale model of one of the most commanding touring cars in Australian motoring history this Wednesday at 2pm.
Be sure you're ready at release time as orders for this stunning model are expected to push beyond supply.
