About the McLaren F1 GTR #59 Ueno Clinic Y. Dalmas / J.J. Lehto / M. Sekiya 24 Hours of Le Mans Winner 1995 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #59 Ueno Clinic McLaren F1 GTR that won the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans outright, driven by Dalmas, Lehto and Sekiya. It marks the first and only time a GT car has taken overall Le Mans victory, making this a genuine Historic GT centerpiece.
Few race liveries carry as much weight in GT circles as the Ueno Clinic F1 GTR. It remains the only GT car to win Le Mans outright, and that fact alone justifies its place in a serious display.
Reproducing the #59 Livery in 1:18 Diecast
Minichamps' 1:18 diecast build gives this F1 GTR the weight and panel precision expected of a flagship Le Mans subject. The Ueno Clinic sponsorship graphics wrap the car's wide-body kit and rear wing in a pattern far more intricate than a typical single-tone road car livery, and tampo-printed detail needs to stay crisp across curved surfaces for the car to read correctly at speed on a shelf. Opening doors are standard at this scale, revealing the roll cage and racing cockpit that separate a GT racer from its road-going F1 sibling. Getting the wide-arch stance and low ride height right matters here, since the GTR's aggressive proportions are a large part of why the livery reads so aggressively even at rest.
Why This Le Mans Win Still Matters
The 1995 race is remembered specifically because a car built primarily for GT competition beat purpose-built prototypes to outright victory, a result that has not been repeated since. Dalmas, Lehto and Sekiya's win cemented the F1 GTR's reputation and, by extension, gave the road-going McLaren F1 an added layer of motorsport credibility. For collectors building a Historic GT or Le Mans-focused shelf, a model of this specific chassis and livery is close to essential, not a peripheral addition.
Paired with a road-going F1 model, this GTR completes the story of one design serving both hypercar and outright Le Mans-winning duty, a pairing few other subjects can offer.
