About the McLaren F1 GTR Loctite #27 T. Bäscher / R. Capello / E. Pirro 24 Hours of Le Mans 1998 UT Models 1:18

TL;DR: UT Models' 1:18 diecast McLaren F1 GTR reproduces the Loctite #27 entry from the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans, with doors, bonnet and boot that open onto cabin and mechanical detail. A GT1-era endurance racer at an accessible price for a Le Mans-themed shelf.

The McLaren F1 GTR carried its road-going relative's central driving position into GT racing, and this Loctite-liveried example from the tail end of the car's works campaign gives the shape a distinctive commercial identity beyond its famous Gulf and Kokusai Kaihatsu colours.

UT Models' Diecast Build and Opening Panels

The zinc alloy body gives this GTR real heft for a 1:18 GT racer, the kind of density that signals a metal shell rather than a lightweight toy the moment it clears its foam tray. Doors, bonnet and boot all open, and lifting the bonnet exposes the mid-mounted engine bay detail while the cabin shows the roll cage and racing seat behind the door aperture. That opening architecture is where this model earns its keep: a closed GT1 racer tells you little about its mechanical layout, but a model that opens the same panels a mechanic would use lets the McLaren's packaging speak for itself. The Loctite livery is applied in flat, even panels rather than fine pinstripe work, consistent with UT Models' mid-tier positioning of the late 1990s, and the wheels and rear wing carry the sharp edges a die can hold on a subject with this much bodywork detail.

The F1 GTR's Place in Late-1990s GT Racing

By 1998 the F1 GTR had moved from its 1995 Le Mans-winning long-tail form into a car built specifically for GT1 competition, still carrying the BMW-built V12 that made the original road car so distinctive. Fielding cars in commercial liveries like Loctite kept the programme running as the GT1 class itself was winding down, and that late-career context gives this particular entry a story separate from the more famous factory colours. For a shelf built around Le Mans GT history or McLaren's competition record, a car from this less-documented final phase fills a genuine gap rather than duplicating the winning liveries most collectors already own, and the opening bodywork rewards a closer look at the GTR's underlying engineering.
