About the Porsche 935 Kremer Racing #8 R. Joest / B. Wollek 24 Hours of Daytona 1977 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Porsche 935 reproduces Kremer Racing's #8 car, driven by Reinhold Joest and Bob Wollek at the 1977 24 Hours of Daytona. The sealed body carries the German privateer team's livery over the 935's widened turbo bodywork, a customer racing entry from one of the model's most respected development shops.

Porsche's factory program built the 935's reputation, but privateer teams like Kremer Racing pushed the car's development just as hard from the outside. By 1977, Kremer had already established itself as one of the sharpest independent shops working on the 935, and the #8 Daytona entry carried Reinhold Joest and Bob Wollek, two drivers who later became defining figures of endurance racing's next decades.

Joest, Wollek, and Kremer Racing's Daytona Entry

Kremer's Reputation for Developing the 935

The Kremer brothers ran their racing operation out of Cologne, and by the mid-1970s their shop had become known for pushing the 935's turbocharged flat-six and aerodynamics further than Porsche's own factory cars in certain respects. That reputation for independent development would culminate a couple of years later in the Kremer K3, a heavily reworked 935 variant that went on to win Le Mans outright. In 1977, that engineering direction was already taking shape, with Kremer's cars competing on genuinely equal footing against both factory Porsches and other well-funded privateer teams at major endurance events like Daytona. Customer racing programs depended on shops exactly like Kremer's to keep pushing the platform forward independently.

Two Storied Careers Behind the Wheel

Reinhold Joest built his name as a driver before eventually founding Joest Racing, a team that would go on to dominate Le Mans across multiple decades with Porsche and later Audi machinery. Bob Wollek, a French driver with a long, decorated career in sports car racing, partnered with Joest on this Daytona entry as two experienced hands trusted to manage a demanding turbocharged car over twenty-four hours. Neither driver's biggest achievements had happened yet in 1977, but both were already established figures within the sport's endurance racing community. Looking back, this entry captures two careers still building toward the reputations that would eventually define them.

Minichamps' Rendering of a Kremer-Spec 935

Panel Lines and Livery Detail on the Widebody Shell

Kremer's cars carried their own visual identity even under a shared basic livery approach with other 935 customer teams, and Minichamps captures the #8 car's specific sponsor placement and number graphics with tampo-printed precision. Registration between the body color and the sponsor panels stays consistent across the model's wide rear arches and lowered nose, tracing the same aggressive bodywork that defined every 935 variant regardless of which team ran it. The panel lines around the arch flares and rear wing supports stay crisp and evenly spaced, giving the model's silhouette the same visual drama the real car carried on Daytona's high-banked oval.

Fixed-Body Casting and Shelf Presence at 1:43

This 935 comes as a sealed one-piece shell, the standard construction at 1:43 that keeps the widened bodywork as one continuous surface without adding the bulk a working panel would introduce. Cast in zinc alloy, the model has real weight for its size, giving it a settled, substantial feel next to a lighter resin piece of similar dimensions. Paint sits on that hard metal base with consistent gloss across the car's large flat surfaces, holding up well under a shelf light. At roughly eleven centimeters long, the model matches the footprint of other 935 variants, making it easy to line up several customer racing liveries side by side.

Kremer and Jolly Club, Two Approaches to the Same 935

Kremer's engineering-led approach to the 935 contrasts naturally with sponsor-driven privateer programs from the same period, and displaying this car alongside other customer racing liveries shows just how differently teams interpreted the same basic platform. Joest and Wollek's presence behind the wheel adds another layer of interest, since both drivers went on to far bigger achievements later in their careers than this single Daytona entry. At 1:43, several 935 customer team liveries fit comfortably on one shelf, their shared silhouette shape making side-by-side comparison genuinely rewarding. This is a solid pick for a collector interested in the depth of Porsche's 935 customer program beyond the factory Martini cars.
