About the Porsche 962C Kremer Racing Liqui Moly #9 M. Winkelhock 3rd Place Norisring Trophy 1985 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 962C reproduces Manfred Winkelhock's #9 Kremer Racing car, third place at the 1985 Norisring Trophy. The sealed body carries the Group C prototype's full period livery, a strong piece for a classic prototype racing collection.
Kremer Racing built a strong reputation as a customer Porsche team, and their 962C program represented one of the most respected privateer efforts of the Group C era.
Sealed-Body Diecast on the 956's Successor
This 962C uses a sealed zinc alloy body, letting Minichamps direct its tooling toward the car's distinctive ground-effect underbody and sweeping bodywork, refined from the earlier 956 into an even more competitive Group C package. The Liqui Moly sponsor livery sits with sharp, clean registration across the car's low, wide surfaces, and the metal casting's genuine weight sets it apart from lighter toy-grade alternatives. Without opening panels, the model's full visual impact rests on surface precision, and the 962's aerodynamic shape reads with real clarity at this scale.
Winkelhock and Kremer's Group C Program
Manfred Winkelhock brought genuine Formula 1 and sports car experience to this Kremer Racing entry, and his third-place finish at the 1985 Norisring Trophy reflects the 962C's continued competitiveness against factory-backed rivals. Kremer Racing's long relationship with Porsche's customer racing program made them one of the most technically capable privateer teams throughout the Group C era. The Norisring, a temporary street circuit, offered a distinct challenge compared to the long-distance endurance events the 962C more commonly contested.
Collecting a Classic Group C Podium Finisher
At 1:18, this 962C's low, wide stance gives it genuine visual drama next to road-going Porsche models, immediately conveying the prototype's radical departure from production design. Since the body is sealed, the model shows off its aerodynamic shape cleanly from any angle. For collectors tracking Group C history or Kremer Racing's respected privateer program, this Norisring entry documents a genuinely well-recorded result.
