About the Porsche 917/10 #6 T. Schenken Team Gelo Racing Winner Interserie Zandvoort 1975 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 917/10 reproduces #6, the winning car at Zandvoort in the 1975 Interserie championship, driven by Tim Schenken for Team Gelo Racing. Diecast construction captures the turbocharged prototype's wide rear wing and flared bodywork for an endurance racing shelf.

Interserie racing let European tracks host Can-Am-style prototypes, and Tim Schenken's Team Gelo Porsche 917/10 took a Zandvoort victory in 1975 against exactly that kind of unrestricted, brutally powerful machinery.

Diecast Detail on a Turbocharged Prototype

The 917/10's towering rear wing and wide, flared bodywork give the diecast plenty of dramatic surface detail, and Minichamps keeps the panel lines tight around those aggressive prototype proportions. Team Gelo's livery and race number 6 are tampo-printed directly onto the body, holding sharp edges rather than the softer register a decal can show. The bonnet and rear deck lift to expose the flat-12 engine bay, referencing the turbocharged powerplant that made the 917/10 one of the most powerful racing cars of its era. Diecast weight gives the model genuine heft, and the wide, low stance reflects the aerodynamic priorities that shaped Can-Am and Interserie prototype design through the mid-1970s.

Schenken, Gelo Racing, and the 917/10's Interserie Run

Tim Schenken raced in Formula 1 before moving into sportscar and prototype competition, and his Zandvoort win for Team Gelo Racing came during Interserie's period as Europe's answer to the American Can-Am series, both categories built around minimally restricted, ferociously powerful sports prototypes. Porsche's 917/10 had already proven dominant in Can-Am itself, and privateer teams like Gelo Racing extended that success into European competition once factory involvement wound down. That racing pedigree gives this Zandvoort-winning livery genuine standing among endurance and prototype collectors.

A Prototype Winner for an Endurance Racing Shelf

Displayed alongside other 1970s prototypes, this 917/10 anchors an Interserie or Can-Am-adjacent theme, its dramatic wing and bodywork setting it apart from smaller GT and touring car liveries.
