After becoming the first driver in 40 years to stand on the podium at every event during a single season and capping off that remarkable campaign with the 2024 championship crown, it came as little surprise that Will Brown quickly adapted to the newly developed Ford Mustang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow carrying the iconic #888, inherited from Triple Eight legend Craig Lowndes, the Queensland larrikin wasted no time making his mark.

The achievement was made even more special as it marked the first pole position for the famous #888 entry since Lowndes himself secured one back in 2018, adding another memorable chapter to the storied history of the number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're a fan of Will Brown and the Red Bull Ampol Racing team, this is a standout model to collect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1:18 scale model is scheduled to be produced in high quality die-cast with opening parts which includes the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA highly detailed racing cockpit can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further.
