About the Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior #40 F. Picchi / J-C. Chasseuil Division 1 Winners 12 Hours of Paul Ricard 1971 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #40 Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior, driven by Picchi and Chasseuil to a Division 1 class win at the 1971 12 Hours of Paul Ricard. It represents the smaller-engined Junior variant proving itself against larger endurance rivals.

Class wins rarely get the attention overall victories do, but for the small-displacement GTA Junior, beating its own division over twelve hours was exactly the kind of result the car was built to deliver.

A Junior Variant Rendered with Full Attention

The GTA 1300 Junior shares its silhouette with the larger GTA but runs a smaller engine, and Minichamps treats it with the same care as its bigger sibling rather than as an afterthought variant. The compact coupe body holds tight, consistent panel gaps around the doors and bonnet, and the Picchi/Chasseuil livery's number 40 and simple striping sit crisply printed against the body colour. Opened doors reveal a genuinely spartan endurance cabin, stripped for weight saving in a way that reflects how seriously even a smaller-class entry was prepared for a twelve-hour race.

Endurance Depth Beyond the Overall Winners

A twelve-hour class win demands the same reliability as an overall victory, just measured against a narrower field, and that gives this GTA Junior genuine standing within endurance racing history rather than a footnote status. Alongside the larger GTA 1300 from Targa Florio, it builds a picture of Alfa Romeo's GTA family competing successfully across different classes and circuits during the same season.
