About the BMW 635 CSi E24 Belga Juma Racing M. Winkelhock / T. Regout 24 Hours of Spa 1985 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 635 CSi recreates Manfred Winkelhock and Thierry Regout's Belga Juma Racing entry at the 1985 24 Hours of Spa. Zinc-alloy build with the team's distinctive tobacco-sponsor livery, sized for Group A and endurance-touring displays.
Spa's 24-hour touring car race demanded durability as much as speed, and Belga Juma Racing built a reputation running well-prepared E24 coupes through Belgian and European touring car fields.
Winkelhock, Regout, and Belga Juma's Spa Campaign
Manfred Winkelhock's résumé spanned Formula One and endurance racing, and pairing with local driver Thierry Regout gave the Belga Juma entry both international pace and regional circuit knowledge, a common formula for success at Spa's demanding 24-hour format. Belga Juma Racing's livery, built around its tobacco sponsorship, made the team's cars among the most visually distinctive on the Group A grid of the mid-1980s. Spa's mix of high-speed sections and technical corners tested the 635 CSi's chassis balance over a full day and night, a very different challenge from the sprint races the car more commonly contested. This model preserves that specific team and result rather than a generic BMW touring livery.
What to Expect From the Diecast Construction
The zinc-alloy body delivers real weight in hand, denser than plastic toys at a similar size, and that heft signals genuine diecast quality. Doors typically open on functional hinges, showing a simplified cockpit with roll cage and endurance instrumentation. The team's livery is rendered through tampo printing, holding sharper detail over years of display than adhesive decals would. Panel gaps run slightly wider than sealed resin construction allows, an honest characteristic of hinged diecast rather than a flaw specific to this piece. The E24's long coupe silhouette scales well to 1:18, preserving its proportions faithfully.
Placing This Coupe in a Touring Car Collection
This 635 CSi complements other Group A and endurance-touring subjects from the mid-1980s, and its bold sponsor livery adds visual variety against more conservative factory liveries on the same shelf. It's a strong anchor for a Spa 24 Hours or Belgian touring car theme.
