About the McLaren F1 GTR #9 P. Kox / R. Ravaglia FIA GT Championship 1997 UT Models 1:18

TL;DR: This UT Models 1:18 diecast McLaren F1 GTR reproduces the #9 car raced by Peter Kox and Roberto Ravaglia in the 1997 FIA GT Championship. It captures the racing evolution of McLaren's F1 road car in metal, aimed at collectors of 1990s GT1-class machinery.

Before the F1 GTR existed, McLaren had never intended to go racing with its road car at all. Customer demand forced the issue, and the result dominated Le Mans in 1995 before evolving into the long-tail version that fought on through 1997.

UT Models' Diecast Reading of a Road-Racer

UT Models worked the licensed motorsport diecast segment through the 1990s, and the F1 GTR suited its metal construction well: the road car's carbon-fibre-inspired lines translate into diecast panel work that holds the F1's low, wide stance convincingly at 1:18. Sponsor decals are tampo printed onto the body rather than layered on top, so the livery sits flush rather than proud of the surface. The doors on the real car swing upward on a dihedral hinge, a detail this era of diecast typically simplified rather than reproduced mechanically, and collectors should expect period-appropriate panel gaps rather than the tight resin tolerances of later specialist replicas. What the model gets right is the silhouette: the long tail, the low nose and the central driving position that made the F1 GTR instantly recognisable trackside.

The F1 GTR's FIA GT Championship Era

By 1997 the F1 GTR had been reworked with the longer tail that gave it the "long tail" nickname, competing against Porsche's 911 GT1 and Mercedes's CLK-GTR in a GT1 class that had become a genuine manufacturer battleground. Peter Kox and Roberto Ravaglia, both experienced touring and GT drivers, crewed this #9 entry through that season. Paired with its period rivals on a shelf, this GTR tells the story of a road car pushed into a factory-backed arms race it was never designed for.
