About the BMW M8 GTE Team RLL #25 C. De Phillippi / A. Farfus Class Winners 24 Hours of Daytona 2019 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M8 GTE reproduces RLL Racing's class-winning #25 entry from the 2019 24 Hours of Daytona, driven by De Phillippi and Farfus. Zinc alloy construction and tampo-printed graphics capture an early result from BMW's factory GTE program.
This #25 entry marks an early success for BMW's M8 GTE program in IMSA competition, coming from the model's debut season in the class.
Reproducing an Early M8 GTE Livery
RLL Racing's IMSA liveries layer sponsor graphics densely across the body, and Minichamps applies these with tampo printing, keeping number panels and logo boundaries crisp rather than softened by decal edges. The M8 GTE's long hood and low, purposeful GT proportions are held true at 1:18, and the diecast body's zinc alloy construction gives it genuine weight in the hand. Doors open to reveal a simplified racing cockpit, appropriate to a car built for endurance competition rather than street use. Panel gaps around the opening features sit within normal diecast tolerance, and registration between the body color and the graphics layer holds cleanly around tight curves like the wheel arches, a section where lower-tier diecast often shows slight misalignment.
An Early Milestone in BMW's GTE Effort
BMW's factory GTE program faced strong competition from established manufacturers when the M8 GTE debuted, making an early class win at the Rolex 24 at Daytona a meaningful marker for the project's credibility. Collectors tracking BMW's modern GT racing history will find this piece pairs naturally with the marque's later M8 GTE liveries, showing the program's development across successive Daytona campaigns. It's a specific, well-documented entry for anyone building an IMSA GTE-focused BMW shelf rather than a generalized racing collection.
