About the Porsche 935J #2 Liqui Moly R. Stommelen / R. Joest / V. Merl 24 Hours of Daytona Winner 1980 MCG 1:18
TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 Porsche 935J #2 reproduces the 1980 24 Hours of Daytona winning car driven by Stommelen, Joest and Merl in sealed diecast. This is a documented outright endurance win, not a generic 935 livery.
Winning Daytona outright demands a car that survives twenty-four hours of punishment as much as it demands raw pace, and this 935J's flared, purposeful bodywork was built for exactly that endurance.
Reproducing an Endurance Winner's Bodywork in Diecast
The 935J's flared arches, deep front splitter, and long rear deck are cast into a single sealed shell, holding the aggressive vent shapes and fender extensions without the seam gaps a hinged panel would introduce. Liqui Moly's livery runs across the doors and flanks as one continuous graphic, a genuine benefit for a car whose sponsor artwork must align cleanly across the whole body. Race number 2 and the three drivers' association with the entry give this specific casting real documentary weight rather than a generic team-color scheme, and the wide rear tires fill the flared arches with the planted stance a Daytona-winning 935 actually needed. Panel gaps stay consistent across the shell, a real mark of tooling discipline on a shape this complex.
A Genuine Outright Endurance Victory
The 1980 24 Hours of Daytona overall victory by Rolf Stommelen, Reinhold Joest, and Volkert Merl is a documented result in the race's history, and it places this specific 935J among the small number of genuinely race-winning chassis reproduced at this scale rather than a livery variant with no result attached. For a collector building an IMSA and North American sportscar shelf, a model tied to an outright Daytona win carries meaningfully more weight than an unraced or mid-pack entry. It rewards research into the exact result behind the livery.
A documented race-winning entry rendered with real precision, it stands as a genuine centerpiece for endurance racing collectors.
