About the Audi R8 LMS GT3 #111 Metha / Breslin Black Falcon 24 Hours of Nurburgring 2010 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Audi R8 LMS GT3 #111 reproduces Black Falcon's entry for Metha and Breslin at the 2010 24 Hours of Nurburgring. The sealed one-piece body carries the team's tampo-printed livery across wide-arch bodywork and a fixed rear wing, a compact piece for an endurance-racing display.
Endurance teams build reputations one long night at a time, and Black Falcon established itself at exactly this kind of event, running competitive entries across some of Europe's toughest 24-hour races. The #111 Audi R8 LMS GT3 represents the team's presence at the 2010 Nurburgring 24 Hours, campaigning a GT3 platform that was itself still in its first competitive seasons.
Black Falcon's #111 Audi R8 LMS GT3 at the Nurburgring
Metha and Breslin in the #111 Entry
Metha and Breslin shared driving duties in the #111 car through one of the Nurburgring 24 Hours' famously long and unpredictable races, where weather on the Nordschleife can shift from dry to fog to rain within a single stint. That variability is part of what makes the event such a demanding test, since a driver lineup has to manage changing grip levels across a lap that runs well over twenty kilometers per circuit. Running an Audi under the Black Falcon banner in 2010 placed the team within the R8 LMS GT3's early customer network, a period when strong finishes at high-profile events helped validate the car for teams still weighing whether to commit to the platform long-term.
Black Falcon's Endurance Racing Roots
Black Falcon built its name specifically around endurance racing, a discipline that rewards consistent, mistake-free driving and reliable mechanical preparation over the kind of outright speed that decides a shorter sprint race. The team's willingness to run different GT3 platforms across its early seasons, including this Audi entry, reflects the practical, results-focused approach that endurance racing tends to demand from teams without unlimited factory backing. The Nurburgring 24 Hours in particular has long served as a proving ground for teams building that kind of reputation, given the sheer difficulty of simply finishing the race intact, let alone finishing competitively. A well-prepared #111 entry in 2010 was as much a statement about the team as about the car itself.
Minichamps' Diecast Livery Reproduction
Sponsor Graphics Across a Sealed Body
This model's body is cast as a single sealed shell, standard 1:43 construction that works to a livery-heavy subject's advantage. Black Falcon's sponsor graphics and the #111 race number are tampo-printed directly onto the surface, wrapping continuously across doors and roof panels without any opening seam to interrupt them. Registration lines up cleanly at the joints most prone to misalignment on a lower-tier model, particularly the door sills and rear quarter panels where a busy livery tends to reveal print quality issues first. The race number sits at a size proportionate to the surrounding graphics, avoiding oversized numerals that can make a livery look crude under close inspection at this compact scale.
Ride Height and Aero at 1:43
Zinc alloy diecast gives this piece genuine weight for its footprint, density that carries through the GT3's wide-arch bodywork and lowered ride height, both correctly proportioned against the standard R8 road car this platform derives from. The front splitter and rear wing carry defined edges rather than a simplified block shape, and the wheels fill the flared arches with a period-correct spoke design rather than sitting with gaps that would flatten the stance. Getting that proportion right matters more for a GT3 model than almost any other detail, since a car that reads correctly stanced looks purposeful from across a shelf, while one that sits too high looks like a road car wearing a costume.
An Endurance Racing Piece for an Audi Shelf
This #111 Black Falcon entry works well alongside other R8 LMS GT3 liveries from the same 2010 Nurburgring grid, letting a collector show the range of teams that ran the platform during its early competitive seasons. It also fits naturally into a broader endurance-racing collection built around the Nurburgring 24 Hours specifically, where team identity often matters as much to a display as the underlying car. At 1:43, expect accurate proportions and cleanly registered livery graphics rather than opening panels or cockpit detail, since this scale prioritizes exterior fidelity and grid-building over interior access. For collectors tracking either Black Falcon's early history or the R8 LMS GT3's formative seasons, this entry documents a genuine piece of that story.
