About the BMW M1 #99 T. Hezemans Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 reproduces car #99, driven by Toine Hezemans in the 1979 Procar Championship, the one-make series that ran as a Grand Prix weekend support race for BMW's first mid-engine road car.

BMW built the M1 as a genuine supercar, then handed it to a grid of Formula 1 drivers on Grand Prix weekends and let them settle the question of who was actually fastest.

The Procar Series and a Grid Full of F1 Talent

The BMW M1 Procar Championship ran in 1979 and 1980 as a one-make support series held on the same weekends as select Formula 1 Grands Prix, filling the field with identically prepared M1s and drawing entries from active F1 drivers alongside dedicated touring and GT specialists. Toine Hezemans, an accomplished Dutch racer with a strong background in touring and GT competition before Procar, campaigned car #99 through the series, competing directly against grand prix regulars in equally matched machinery, which made Procar one of the purest tests of raw driving skill in late-1970s motorsport. The format gave the M1, BMW's first mid-engine production car and a genuine homologation special built to satisfy Group 4 and 5 racing rules, a stage that matched its ambition.

Minichamps' Rendering of a One-Make Grid Car

Because every Procar M1 shared the same base specification, livery becomes the entire visual distinction between entries, and Minichamps' attention to period sponsor colors and number treatment is what separates car #99 from its identical grid mates. The M1's wedge-shaped Giugiaro-designed body, with its low nose and sharp creases, translates cleanly into 1:18 diecast, giving the model real presence regardless of which specific livery a collector chooses.

A Foundational BMW Motorsport Story

This M1 documents a genuinely unusual chapter in racing history, F1 drivers and specialists on truly level terms.
