About the Audi R8 LMS Ultra #1 EK S. Asch / Stoll ADAC GT Masters 2013 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Audi R8 LMS Ultra reproduces the #1 EK Motorsport entry that S. Asch and Stoll campaigned in the 2013 ADAC GT Masters season. The body is a sealed one-piece casting with tampo-printed livery, correct GT3 aero, and Audi's V10-based competition stance faithfully scaled down.

Audi entered GT3 racing in 2009 with the R8 LMS, then sharpened the package into the Ultra for the 2012 season with a lighter chassis and revised aerodynamics under new regulations. The ADAC GT Masters, Germany's premier GT3 series, became a natural home for the car, and this #1 entry captures that competitive scene in miniature.

Minichamps' 1:43 Audi R8 LMS Ultra and the ADAC GT Masters Grid

The #1 EK Motorsport Entry and Audi's GT3 Program

This casting carries the #1 livery of the EK Motorsport-run R8 LMS Ultra from the 2013 ADAC GT Masters, the season S. Asch and Stoll shared the car. By then ADAC GT Masters had become the deepest GT3 field in Europe, running at circuits like the Nürburgring, Hockenheim, and the Sachsenring, with Audi's customer teams regularly among the front-runners. The Ultra update itself answered tightened GT3 weight rules introduced for 2012: a lighter chassis, revised splitter and diffuser, and the same naturally aspirated V10 borrowed from the road-going R8.

Livery Registration and Tampo-Printed Detail

Minichamps reproduces the R8's shape faithfully at 1:43, holding the wide GT3 arches, roof-mounted air intake, and the rear wing's correct rake. The number 1 graphics, sponsor decals, and windshield banner are tampo-printed rather than applied as stickers, keeping the surface flat and avoiding the edge lift cheaper transfers show after years on a shelf. Getting a GT3 livery right at this scale is mostly about registration, matching decal placement to reference photos rather than just the color scheme, and that discipline is where Minichamps' motorsport reputation shows through most clearly.

Sealed-Body Diecast Construction at 1:43

Why the Body Stays Sealed at This Scale

Minichamps casts this Audi as a one-piece zinc alloy shell, with no doors, hood, or hatch that opens. At 1:43 that is standard practice: the scale is too small to carry a hinge mechanism without widening the panel lines that make or break a race-car casting, so the model plays out entirely on the outside. The payoff is a shut line that reads as one continuous groove around each door, and paint that sits directly on the metal shell, giving the base color a depth a painted plastic body cannot quite match.

Wheels, Underbody, and Scale Trade-offs vs 1:18

The wheels carry molded brake ducting and the correct GT3 offset, and the underbody shows a simplified but recognizable diffuser rather than a blank floor. Compared with Minichamps' own 1:18 line, this 1:43 casting simplifies some cockpit and roll-cage detail visible through the glass, trading a measure of interior fidelity for a footprint that lets an entire season's worth of liveries share one shelf. That trade-off is the honest reason collectors choose 1:43 for racing subjects: breadth over a single hero piece.

Building a German GT3 Shelf

ADAC GT Masters produced a genuinely competitive grid through the early 2010s, with Audi, Mercedes, and Porsche customer teams trading wins across a season, and this R8 LMS Ultra slots naturally alongside models from those rival manufacturers. Collectors chasing a specific season, rather than a single hero car, gain the most from 1:43: a full grid, or even a full year's worth of entries, fits into a footprint that a handful of 1:18 pieces would already fill. This casting rewards close inspection of its livery work over an interior tour, since the body stays sealed, and the metal shell resists warping while the paint keeps its gloss far longer than a lower-tier plastic casting would.
