About the Audi R8 #4 M. Ortelli / J-M. Gounon 1000km Spa 2005 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Audi R8 #4 reproduces the Ortelli and Gounon entry from the 2005 1000km Spa as a sealed, one-piece body. The R8's proven prototype shape carries the piece. A genuine endurance subject at a compact scale.

Spa's demanding circuit hosted one of the R8's many appearances during its dominant prototype era, and this diecast documents Ortelli and Gounon's #4 entry from the 2005 running.

A Sealed Body for a Proven Prototype Shape

This R8 is a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy casting, and at 1:43 the sealed body holds the prototype's low, enclosed cockpit and aerodynamic bodywork with clean, consistent shutlines. There are no opening panels here, so the #4 livery and sponsor detailing sit crisply printed across the surface, and the R8's distinctive side intakes and rear wing come through clearly in the casting's proportions.

A Documented Spa Endurance Entry

The R8's competitive record across endurance racing's biggest events makes tracking specific race entries a genuinely rewarding pursuit for collectors, and this Spa 1000km appearance sits among the many documented outings during the car's long, successful career. Ortelli and Gounon's pairing gives the model a specific, verifiable identity beyond a generic Audi Sport livery.

Building an R8 Race History at 1:43

At this compact scale, several R8 entries from different races and seasons fit comfortably in one cabinet, letting a collector trace the car's competitive record across circuits. Displayed alongside the R8's Petit Le Mans winning entry, it shows the breadth of the car's international campaign. Keep the sealed body dusted and shielded from strong light.
