About the BMW M4 GT3 #31 Schubert Motorsport S. van der Linde Winner DTM Lausitzring 2022 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the Schubert Motorsport BMW M4 GT3 #31, driven by Sheldon van der Linde to victory at the DTM's Lausitzring round in 2022. Opening doors and bonnet reveal the roll cage and race-spec cockpit beneath full sponsor livery.

DTM racing switched wholesale to GT3 machinery in 2021, ending decades of bespoke prototype racing and opening the championship to production-based cars run by independent teams. Minichamps' 1:18 BMW M4 GT3 captures Schubert Motorsport's response to that new era: car #31, campaigned to victory at the Lausitzring by Sheldon van der Linde during the 2022 season, reproduced down to its sponsor livery.

Schubert Motorsport and the BMW M4 GT3 in DTM

A New GT3 Era for the DTM

The DTM abandoned its long-running Class One regulations after the 2020 season and switched to GT3 machinery from 2021, opening the championship to production-based race cars that customer teams could buy and run rather than manufacturer-built prototypes. Schubert Motorsport, a long-established BMW partner in touring car and GT racing, took on the M4 GT3 as its weapon for the new era, running it under BMW's factory-supported customer programme rather than as a works entry in the old sense.

A Customer Programme Built on the S58 Six

Schubert prepares and races the car, BMW supplies technical support and drivers from its wider talent pool, and the sponsorship on the bodywork reflects the team's own commercial partners as much as BMW's corporate identity. The M4 GT3 itself is built around BMW's S58 twin-turbo six, the same engine family used in the road-going M3 and M4 Competition models, tuned and caged for GT3 competition rather than street use. Racing it through a full DTM season against Audi, Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche GT3 machinery puts Schubert's programme in direct competition with some of the best-funded customer racing operations in Europe.

Sheldon van der Linde's Lausitzring Victory

This particular casting reproduces car #31 as it crossed the line first at the Lausitzring round of the 2022 DTM season, with Sheldon van der Linde at the wheel. The van der Linde name carries weight in BMW's GT3 programme, part of a wider family connection to BMW motorsport that also includes a brother's career in rival machinery. A win at the Lausitzring, a circuit built on a former East German lignite mining site and known for its high-speed section alongside a tighter infield, demands a car balanced across very different corner types in the same lap. Every sponsor decal, number board and windscreen strip on this model corresponds to how the car actually looked crossing that finish line, not a composite of the season's various liveries. For a collector following DTM's GT3 era race by race, that specificity is the entire point of buying a result-dated model rather than a generic team livery.

Minichamps' Race Livery Diecast and Opening Panels

Minichamps builds this M4 GT3 in diecast, and the weight of a zinc-alloy casting at 1:18 gives a race car model the same planted, substantial feel that a road car casting carries. The doors and bonnet open, revealing the roll cage bars and the stripped-out cockpit a GT3 regulation car actually runs, rather than a road-car interior painted to look sporty: a fixed racing seat and a fire extinguisher mount rather than carpet and door pockets. Sponsor livery on a race model lives or dies on decal register, since a car this heavily branded has dozens of small logos that all need to sit straight and sharp under close inspection. Minichamps' tampo printing carries that detail down to logos most casual viewers would need a magnifying glass to read, and the panel gaps around the opening doors stay tight enough that the livery reads as continuous rather than broken across a hinge line.

Placing a DTM Winner in a GT3 Collection

A result-specific race car like this one earns its place differently to a standard road-car diecast: its value comes from documenting an actual result rather than representing a general specification. Collectors following the DTM's GT3 era, or building a broader BMW motorsport run alongside M3 and M4 road-going pieces, will find this Lausitzring winner slots in as a specific chapter rather than a generic addition. It pairs naturally with other 2022 season liveries from rival manufacturers, and the opening panels mean it rewards a closer look rather than only a glance from across the room. At a price in line with Minichamps' race-car range, the detail on sponsor decals justifies the step up from a simplified promotional model.
