About the BMW 635 CSi E24 #9 Hollinger / P. Giroix Garage du Bac 24 Hours of Spa 1984 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 635 CSi E24 reproduces Garage du Bac's #9 entry driven by Hollinger and Giroix at the 1984 24 Hours of Spa. Cast during BMW's dominant Group A touring car era, this diecast captures the E24's wide-body stance for a 1980s endurance racing display.

By 1984 the BMW 635 CSi had become the car to beat in European touring car racing, and this Garage du Bac entry ran at Spa during exactly that period of BMW dominance.

Diecast Presence for a Wide-Arch Group A Coupe

Group A regulations in the mid-1980s allowed for flared arches and aggressive aerodynamic addenda well beyond what the standard road-going 635 CSi carried, and the racing versions took full advantage with wide box arches, a front splitter, and a rear spoiler that gave the coupe genuine visual menace on the grid. Minichamps' diecast build renders those flared arches with sharp, defined edges, and the model's weight in hand suits a car that, in period, needed real ballast to keep the flared bodywork planted through Spa's fast corners. The Garage du Bac livery mixes solid body color with clean number and sponsor graphics typical of well-funded privateer teams from the period, and diecast tooling reproduces that combination with tidy, legible printing.

BMW's Group A Dominance and Spa's Endurance Test

BMW's 635 CSi won the European Touring Car Championship outright across multiple seasons in the mid-1980s, a run of dominance built on the E24's combination of straight-six power and a chassis that adapted well to Group A's wider aerodynamic allowances. The 24 Hours of Spa demanded something different from a single-lap qualifying effort, testing reliability and pit strategy across a full day and night, and teams like Garage du Bac needed both a well-prepared car and disciplined driving to survive the distance. Hollinger and Giroix's #9 entry represents the kind of dedicated privateer effort that filled out grids behind the factory-supported squads, running the same fundamentally dominant chassis without the same budget.

A Well-Documented Entry for an 80s Touring Car Wall

This E24 pairs naturally with other Group A touring cars from the mid-1980s, and its Spa endurance context adds a different flavor than a shorter-format sprint race entry would provide.
