About the BMW M1 Procar #6 N. Piquet Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 Procar #6 reproduces Nelson Piquet's 1979 car from the Procar Championship, the one-make series that ran identically prepared BMW M1s as support races for Formula 1 grand prix weekends. Detailed livery reproduction anchors a vintage racing collection.

BMW built the M1 to satisfy homologation rules, then found a cleverer use for the leftover cars: a support series that put Formula 1 drivers behind the wheel on grand prix weekends. Minichamps' #6 diecast reproduces one of those cars.

Minichamps' Livery Work on a Procar Entry

The Procar Championship ran identically prepared M1s, so the visual distinction between cars came down almost entirely to sponsor livery and number, which puts real weight on getting the graphics right. Minichamps reproduces the #6 car's decals and number-plate detailing with the tampo-printed sharpness the brand is known for in motorsport subjects, and the diecast body captures the M1's wide, low, wedge-shaped silhouette, one of the more striking mid-engine road-racer shapes BMW ever built. Panel gaps and paint depth hold up well for a diecast at this tier, a genuine strength for a livery-driven subject.

A Series Built From Leftover Homologation Cars

BMW needed to build a minimum number of M1 road cars to homologate a racing version, and rather than let the surplus sit idle, BMW Motorsport organized the Procar Championship to run identically prepared M1s as a support category for select Formula 1 race weekends in 1979 and 1980. The format invited Formula 1 drivers to compete alongside dedicated touring and GT racers, giving the series genuine star power on grids that otherwise might have gone unnoticed. Nelson Piquet, in his rookie years at the top level of the sport, was among the F1 names who took part.

A Distinctive Chapter for a Racing Shelf

This M1 fits naturally into a one-make series display or a BMW Motorsport history lineup, its wedge shape standing apart from almost anything else on the same shelf.
