About the Ford Capri Group 5 #3 Mampe H. Heyer DRM Norisring 1979 MCG 1:18

TL;DR: This MCG 1:18 diecast reproduces H. Heyer's #3 Mampe Ford Capri Group 5 from the 1979 DRM season at Norisring. Group 5 silhouette racing pushed bodywork flares to their most extreme, and this Capri carries that wide-arch look faithfully.

Group 5's silhouette formula allowed wildly flared bodywork over a production silhouette, and few cars exploited that rule more dramatically than the Zakspeed-era Ford Capri.

MCG's Approach to a Wide-Arch Silhouette Racer

The Capri's Group 5 bodywork bears only a passing resemblance to the road car underneath, with dramatically flared arches accommodating wide racing tyres and a rear wing far larger than anything on a showroom model. MCG's diecast holds that exaggerated width accurately, and the Mampe sponsor livery and Heyer's number 3 are tampo printed for sharp edges across the flared panels. Zinc alloy construction gives the model genuine substance, appropriate for a car whose real-world width made it look almost cartoonish next to a standard road-going Capri. Panel gaps and shut lines sit at a solid mid-tier standard, and the wheel and tyre package reflects the era's wide slick rubber rather than a road car's proportions.

The Capri's Place in DRM and Group 5 History

The German DRM championship of the late 1970s became a showcase for Group 5's most extreme interpretations, with manufacturers like Ford, BMW and Porsche fielding cars that stretched the silhouette regulations to their absolute limit. Norisring's tight street circuit made for spectacular racing among these wide-bodied machines, and a Capri from this era represents Ford's most aggressive touring car statement of the period. For British collectors, the Capri nameplate carries strong home-market resonance, making this Group 5 variant a striking contrast piece next to a standard road-going Capri in the same collection.
