About the Audi Quattro A2 #2 B. Waldegård / H-T. Thorszelius Belga Team Winners Boucles de Spa 1985 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces the #2 Belga Team Audi Quattro A2 driven by Bjorn Waldegard to victory at the 1985 Boucles de Spa. A win from the Group B era, driven by one of rallying's most decorated champions in the car that proved four-wheel drive's advantage.
Waldegard had already won a world championship before ever driving a Quattro, and his success in Audi's all-wheel-drive machine says as much about the car's advantage as it does about his own considerable skill.
A Belga Livery With Genuine Racing Provenance
The Quattro's boxy, flared bodywork gave Audi's rally program a distinctive silhouette against the smaller, lighter cars it competed against, and Minichamps' diecast holds that wide, purposeful stance accurately at 1:18. The Belga Team's red and white sponsor graphics sit cleanly across the doors and hood, matched to period photography rather than a generic Audi rally scheme, and the model's opening doors reveal a stripped, function-first rally cabin true to the genuine Group B specification. Weight and panel fit meet the standard found across Minichamps' broader Quattro rally range.
Waldegard and the Quattro's Reign
Bjorn Waldegard won the very first World Rally Championship drivers' title in 1979 and remained a formidable competitor well into the Quattro era, adapting his considerable experience to Audi's revolutionary four-wheel-drive system. The Quattro's introduction fundamentally changed rally car design, forcing every competitor to follow Audi's lead within a few seasons. For a collection tracing that transition, a Waldegard-driven Belga Team win captures a champion adapting to, and succeeding with, the car that rewrote the rules.
