About the Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 #1 D. Glemser Ford Deutschland Winner Brno ETCC 1972 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces the #1 Ford Deutschland Capri Mk1 RS 2600 driven by Dieter Glemser to victory at Brno in the 1972 European Touring Car Championship. A factory-backed race winner from the years the Capri dominated ETCC.
Ford's factory Capri effort ran roughshod over European touring car racing in the early 1970s, and a Glemser win from that period represents the model at its competitive peak.
A Factory Livery Built for the Track
The RS 2600's flared arches and vented hood set it apart visually from the road-going Capri, and Minichamps' diecast reflects that racing-specific bodywork rather than the softer street silhouette. The Ford Deutschland livery's white and red graphics sit on the doors and roof with the kind of clean edges the factory cars actually wore, and the model's opening features let a collector examine the roll cage detail behind the driver's door. Diecast construction gives the Capri real heft at 1:18, appropriate for a car whose racing version was stripped down and reinforced for endurance touring car competition rather than comfort.
The Capri's Dominant ETCC Years
Ford's factory Cologne-based Capri program was the team to beat across European Touring Car Championship rounds in the early 1970s, with Dieter Glemser among its most successful drivers during that stretch. Brno's win added to a run of results that made the Capri RS 2600 a defining touring car of the era, alongside rivals like BMW's E9 coupes. For a collection built around 1970s European touring car racing, a Glemser-driven factory win is a strong anchor, a specific result rather than a generic team livery.
