About the BMW M1 Procar #81 Kreistelefonbuch Team Winkelhock C. Regazzoni DRM Norisring 1979 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 Procar #81 recreates the Kreistelefonbuch-liveried Team Winkelhock car raced by Clay Regazzoni at the 1979 DRM Norisring event, a distinctive sponsor livery separate from the standard M1 Procar Series entries.
Norisring's tight street-circuit layout made it a demanding venue even for a car as capable as the M1, and DRM entries from this era often carried livery variations distinct from the parallel Procar Series running the same chassis.
A Distinctive Sponsor Livery at 1:18
The Kreistelefonbuch branding on this car sets it apart visually from the more familiar BASF and Procar Series liveries collectors typically encounter on the M1, and Minichamps' decal work carries that sponsor text with the same legibility standard applied across its broader touring and GT model range. The M1's wide-arched, wedge-profile body holds its shape convincingly at 1:18, and the diecast construction gives the model enough weight to feel substantial on a shelf, consistent with the manufacturer's larger-scale GT output.
A Discovery Piece for BMW M1 Collectors
Regazzoni's F1 career, including a Formula 1 race win with Ferrari, gives this particular M1 entry added significance for collectors tracking his full career beyond his more famous single-seater results. Team Winkelhock's presence in German domestic touring and GT racing during this period adds another specific thread worth following. This model rewards collectors who go beyond the standard Procar Series liveries to find the parallel DRM entries that ran the same chassis under different banners, a genuinely distinct corner of late-1970s BMW Motorsport history.
