About the Ford Capri RS2600 BP Racing Team #3 G. Birrell / C. Bourgoignie 2nd Place 24 Hours of Spa 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This 1:18 Minichamps diecast reproduces the #3 BP Racing Team Ford Capri RS2600 driven by Gerry Birrell and Christine Bourgoignie to a 2nd-place finish at the 1972 24 Hours of Spa, one of European touring car racing's toughest endurance events.

A podium finish at Spa's 24-hour touring car race in the early 1970s meant surviving a grueling format on a circuit with almost no margin for error, which gives this specific result genuine weight beyond a simple race entry.

Capturing a Podium-Winning Livery

BP's racing colors relied on strong contrast between the body's base paint and the sponsor graphics, and Minichamps' printing keeps that separation clean along the doors and roofline where a race car's decals take the most visual weight. The diecast body carries the RS2600's fastback profile with the same solidity as the street version, but the racing-spec detailing, wider arches, roll cage hints through the glazing, and competition wheels, sets this casting apart from a standard road car model. Panel joints stay tight despite the added surface detail that a race livery demands, and the number roundel and sponsor logos hold their shape without bleeding into the surrounding paint.

Why the 1972 Spa 24 Hours Matters

The Spa 24 Hours built a reputation as one of the most demanding touring car events in Europe, combining raw circuit speed with the endurance element of a full day's racing, and Ford's Capri RS2600 was a genuine front-runner there in the early 1970s. A 2nd-place finish in that field represents a strong result against factory-level competition rather than a minor placing.

Building a Spa 24 Hours Collection

This Capri pairs naturally with other podium finishers from the same 1972 race, letting a collector assemble the full podium in miniature. The compact coupe footprint at 1:18 makes several race-liveried Capris easy to display together without crowding a shelf.
