About the BMW M1 Procar N. Lauda Project Four Racing Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:12

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:12 diecast BMW M1 Procar reproduces Niki Lauda's 1979 Project Four Racing entry in BMW's single-make Procar Championship. The large-format scale gives this mid-engine racer commanding shelf presence, suiting collectors building a Lauda-focused or 1970s one-make racing display.

The BMW Procar Championship was a genuine curiosity in motorsport history, a single-make series built entirely around the mid-engine M1 that ran as a support race to Formula 1 weekends, and Niki Lauda was among the world champions who competed in it.

A Large-Format Diecast Built for Presence

At 1:12, this M1 Procar occupies noticeably more shelf real estate than a standard 1:18 racer, and that scale suits the M1's dramatic, wide-fendered silhouette, one of the few genuinely mid-engine designs BMW ever put into series production. The Project Four Racing livery, the team run by a young Ron Dennis before his McLaren years, is reproduced with sharp graphic registration across the car's flared bodywork. Doors open to reveal a stripped racing cabin, and the diecast's substantial zinc-alloy weight matches the scale's promise of a serious display piece rather than a shelf-filler. Wide racing tires and the M1's low, purposeful stance are rendered with the kind of conviction that a smaller scale would struggle to match.

Lauda, Project Four, and the Procar Concept

The Procar Championship's format, identical M1 chassis raced by a mix of Formula 1 stars and touring car specialists, gave it a novelty that briefly made it one of the more talked-about undercard series of its era. Niki Lauda competing in the 1979 season, driving for Project Four Racing, placed a reigning world champion in exactly the kind of identical-machinery competition that rewards pure driving skill. That context gives this specific liveried car genuine motorsport significance beyond the M1's own considerable reputation.

A Centerpiece for a 1970s Racing Shelf

At this scale and with this driver pairing, the M1 Procar works best as a standalone centerpiece rather than one entry among many.
