It was also the final year in which the LMGTE Am class appeared at Le Mans, closing out more than five decades of GTE-derived GT machinery at the event. Car No. 56, campaigned by the German privateer outfit Team Project 1 – AO, was among the last Porsche 911 RSRs to compete in that class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"porsche-911-rsr-19-gte-racer\"\u003eThe Porsche 911 RSR-19: a 1:18 scale model subject with genuine racing pedigree\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 911 RSR-19 belongs to the 991.2 generation and was developed specifically to FIA GTE regulations. It is powered by a naturally aspirated flat-six mounted in a dry-sump, mid-rear configuration — a deliberate departure from the road car's layout to meet GTE homologation requirements. The RSR-19 made its race debut at the 2019 Rolex 24 at Daytona, and by 2023 it remained the weapon of choice for Porsche customer teams in LMGTE Am.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"team-project-1-ao-le-mans-2023\"\u003eTeam Project 1 – AO and the green No. 56 at the centenary race\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeam Project 1 is a long-standing German Porsche customer team with a consistent Le Mans presence across multiple WEC seasons. The AO designation in 2023 reflected the team's partnership with Asian-based sponsors, and the car ran in a predominantly green livery — a clear visual contrast to the more common white and red schemes seen on Porsche customer cars of the era. The driver line-up brought together Matteo Cairoli, a factory-affiliated Porsche pilot from Italy; Gunnar Jeannette, an established American GT specialist; and British-American gentleman driver Phillip Jeffrey Hyett. The trio finished 35th overall in the race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"spark-model-resin-construction\"\u003eSpark Model resin construction at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is produced by Spark Model in resin at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale.
