About the Ford GT GTE Chip Ganassi USA #69 R. Briscoe / R. Westbrook / S. Dixon 24 Hours of Le Mans 2016 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford GT GTE recreates Chip Ganassi Racing USA's #69 car from the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by Ryan Briscoe, Richard Westbrook, and Scott Dixon. Zinc-alloy build marking the GT's high-profile return to Le Mans.
Ford's return to Le Mans in 2016 came exactly fifty years after the GT40's famous overall win, and the new GT's GTE-class effort carried enormous symbolic weight beyond the race result itself.
The Ganassi Program and Ford's Le Mans Return
Chip Ganassi Racing fielded multiple Ford GTs at Le Mans in 2016, and this #69 entry brought together Ryan Briscoe, Richard Westbrook, and Scott Dixon, drivers with backgrounds spanning IndyCar and sports car racing. Scott Dixon's presence is particularly notable given his status as one of IndyCar's most decorated champions, making his participation in this program a genuine crossover moment for American motorsport fans. The GT's mid-engine layout and aggressive aerodynamic package were purpose-built for GTE competition, a very different design brief from the road-going GT sold alongside the racing program. The anniversary timing made this entire campaign one of the most closely followed GTE efforts of the decade.
Diecast Detail on a GTE Contender
The zinc-alloy body carries real weight, clearly denser than lighter plastic toy construction at a comparable size. Expect opening doors on functional hinges, revealing a simplified but recognizable racing cockpit with roll cage and safety equipment. Panel gaps run a touch wider than sealed resin construction allows, an honest trait of hinged diecast rather than a flaw specific to this piece. Livery graphics are tampo-printed, holding sharp detail through the car's distinctive flying buttress rear bodywork, one of the GT's most visually striking design elements at any scale.
A Milestone Entry for a Le Mans Shelf
This Ford GT anchors a modern GTE display and pairs meaningfully with a GT40 replica to show Ford's Le Mans story across five decades.
