I'd suggest everyone go to some of the major diecast maker websites and send them email/feedback about making more 1/18 scale ALMS/LMES/LeMans diecast cars. I have. I try to send them an email weekly, and suggest certain cars. 1/43 scale is nice, but I like my cars to have some size and detail to them! Heck, for what you pay for the 1/43s you might as well be getting 1/18 anyway.
There are so many good cars that are unavailable in this scale.
-Ferrari 550s/575s (Labre, Care Racing, Barron Conner, Raf Olive Garden, etc)
-Saleen S7Rs (Konrad, Acemco, Graham-Nash, etc)
-Dyson Lolas
-Panoz LMP open cockpit
-Panoz GT
-Porsche GT3RSR (Alex Job, Racer's Group, etc)
-Audi R8 (Champion Racing, '04 Winner GOH, Velouqx, Gulf, etc)
and on and on and on.......
