About the Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior #40 F. Picchi / J-C. Chasseuil Division 1 Winners 12 Hours of Paul Ricard 1971 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces the #40 Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior driven by Picchi and Chasseuil to a Division 1 class win at the 1971 12 Hours of Paul Ricard. A documented endurance-touring result rather than a decorative livery.

Twelve-hour endurance racing puts a different strain on a small touring car than a sprint race, and a class win at Paul Ricard says as much about reliability as it does about pace.

A Class-Winning Livery in Fine Detail

The GTA Junior shares the standard GTA's compact touring car shape but ran a smaller displacement engine, and Minichamps distinguishes the two on the diecast body through correct badging and livery details rather than any change to the underlying casting quality. The #40 graphics are applied with the same precision found across the range, sponsor block and number circle sitting exactly where period photos show them. Because this specific car won its class rather than simply competing, the livery carries genuine documented significance, a detail that matters to collectors assembling result-specific displays rather than generic paint schemes.

Endurance Racing's Smaller Classes

The 12 Hours of Paul Ricard split its field into displacement classes, giving smaller cars like the GTA Junior a genuine chance at a result even against larger, faster machinery in the overall standings. That structure rewarded consistency and durability over twelve hours rather than single-lap speed, exactly the kind of test small Italian touring cars were built to pass. For a collection tracking Alfa Romeo's touring car era across multiple events, this Paul Ricard class win adds a specific, provable result to the broader GTA story.
