About the Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 #4 W. Frank / K. Fritzinger Kent Frami Racing 24 Hours of Spa 1972 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Capri RS2600 recreates car #4, driven by W. Frank and K. Fritzinger for Kent Frami Racing at the 1972 24 Hours of Spa. It's a period-correct touring-car livery piece for collectors building a 1970s Group 2 racing display.
The early-1970s Capri RS2600 was Ford's answer to BMW's touring-car ambitions, a homologation special built to win European Touring Car Championship races outright. This #4 Kent Frami Racing entry captures one specific weekend from that era, at Spa.
Minichamps' Livery Accuracy on a Group 2 Racer
Getting a race livery right on a 1:18 diecast means the sponsor decals, number roundel, and team colors have to sit correctly on a body whose panel lines were already tight enough to read as period-authentic. Minichamps built its reputation across many European Touring Car Championship entries on exactly this kind of tampo precision, rather than on generic road-car replicas. The diecast build gives the model real weight in hand, and doors that open, typical of Minichamps' 1:18 race line, reveal a simplified roll cage and cabin behind the correctly shaped Capri fastback profile. The #4 markings and Kent Frami Racing branding are the details worth checking closely, since a soft or misaligned decal is the fastest way to spot a lesser reproduction of the same subject.
The Capri RS2600 in Early Touring Car Racing
Ford's Cologne-built RS2600 was genuinely competitive against BMW's 3.0 CSL through the early 1970s, taking European Touring Car Championship honors in period thanks to a homologated V6 and a lightened body shell. Spa's 24-hour endurance format sat alongside circuit sprint races on the touring-car calendar of the era, testing reliability as much as outright pace. This particular liveried entry sits within that competitive field, one of many privateer and semi-works Capris chasing the same championship battles Ford's works team was winning outright.
This Capri anchors a 1970s touring-car shelf well, and it pairs naturally with rival BMW liveries from the same seasons for collectors chasing the era's genuine on-track rivalry rather than a single marque.
