About the Ferrari 312T4 #12 G. Villeneuve United States Grand Prix East Winner 1979 Bburago 1:18
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 312T4 reproduces Gilles Villeneuve's #12 car from his win at the 1979 United States Grand Prix East. Diecast construction and Bburago's long-standing Ferrari license bring genuine period accuracy to one of Villeneuve's most celebrated victories.
Villeneuve's aggressive style earned him a devoted following even before his most famous battles, and this Watkins Glen-winning 312T4 documents one of the results that built that reputation.
Villeneuve's Livery Beside a Championship Teammate
Gilles Villeneuve ran as Jody Scheckter's teammate through the 1979 season, and while Scheckter took the title, Villeneuve's own results, including this US Grand Prix East win, built the foundation for the fearless reputation that would make him one of the sport's most beloved drivers regardless of championship outcomes. Bburago's diecast, drawing on decades of Ferrari F1 tooling experience, reproduces the 312T4's wide rear treatment and period wing profile, and Villeneuve's #12 board and personal livery details are rendered with clean, legible printing.
The US Grand Prix East Win in Context
The United States Grand Prix East, run at Watkins Glen, was a genuine highlight on the 1979 calendar, and Villeneuve's victory there stands as one of several results that season demonstrating his outright speed even in a year Ferrari's title ultimately went to his teammate. That combination, a driver whose individual results often outshone the championship math, is part of what makes Villeneuve-liveried cars from this era so consistently sought after among Ferrari F1 collectors decades later. For anyone building a 1979 Ferrari season shelf, this US Grand Prix East winner is genuinely significant.
