This is a 1/18 scale replica of the #68 Noble Group 2005 Porsche 911 (996) GT3 RSR that was driven by Matthew Marsh and Darryl O"Young in the 2005 Zhuhai, China round of the FIA GT Championship. Matthew Marsh is a British racnig driver who currently resides in Hong Kong. In 2005, he formed the Hong Kong Le Mans Team in 2005 with sponsorship from Noble Group and technical support by GruppeM, with the stated aim of competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2006. Darryl O"Young joined the team as his co-driver. The team took part in three Le Mans Endurance Series races that year, as well as the FIA GT Championship race at Zhuhai, finishing in fourth position in class. But the team failed to gain an entry at Le Mans and the project was terminated. Marsh eventually found his way to Le Mans in 2007 when he became the first ever racing driver to represent Hong Kong at the 24 Hours Of Le Mans, when he joined G.P.C. Sport to race with Carl Rosenblad and Jesus Diez Villarroel in a Ferrari 430. The team qualified 52nd overall (11th in class) and retired after 252 laps.
