About the Porsche 917/10 #6 T. Schenken Team Gelo Racing Winner Interserie Zandvoort 1975 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #6 Porsche 917/10 that won for Team Gelo Racing with Tim Schenken at the wheel in the 1975 Interserie round at Zandvoort. This turbocharged prototype's wide bodywork and confirmed race win make it a substantial piece for Porsche endurance and Can-Am-era collectors.
The 917/10 took Porsche's Le Mans-winning prototype formula and turned the power up further still for Can-Am and Interserie racing, producing one of the most brutal-looking sports racers of the 1970s.
A Turbocharged Prototype's Winning Livery
Team Gelo Racing ran Porsche's 917/10 in European Interserie competition through the mid-1970s, a series that mirrored the American Can-Am formula's emphasis on outright power over homologation rules, and this diecast reproduces that team's livery with the same tampo-printed precision Minichamps applies across its endurance racing range. The 917/10's wide rear bodywork and prominent rear wing, both necessary to manage the turbocharged flat-twelve's power, are captured with correct proportion, and the model's stance sits low and aggressive rather than compromised for static display. Doors, where the 917/10's low-slung body allows them, open on this build, and the rear engine cover lifts to expose the massive powerplant that made this car one of the era's fastest closed-cockpit racers.
Tim Schenken and a Confirmed Interserie Result
Tim Schenken raced across Formula 1 and sports car categories through the 1970s, and this Zandvoort win with Team Gelo documents a genuine result rather than a generic 917/10 livery applied without context. For collectors tracking either Porsche's prototype racing history or the broader Can-Am and Interserie era of unrestricted power, a confirmed winning entry carries more weight than an unplaced participant. Set beside a Le Mans-liveried 917, this 917/10 tells the parallel story of Porsche's flat-twelve turbo development away from endurance rules entirely.
