OK, Auto art do some very nice Le Mans sports cars fair priced as well.
Minichamps do some classic DTM cars like the Sopher Ford Cosworth isn't it? Many more.
That's 1:18.
Maisto make a few DTM cars in 1:18 not bad actually and not expensive.
Don't know what the make is for V8 Supercars, I know there is the Andy Priaulx WTCC championship winning car can't remember the make. Many BTCC cars not sure about 1:18 but definitely 1:43 and all the rest on 1:43 of the above.

Spark Models make most of the Le Mans grid (non-Ferraris) each year in 1:43rd scale and their sister company Red Line the Ferraris. Spark Models also do a lot of the World Touring Car cars (Alfa Romeo and BMW).
