About the Audi R8 LMS GT3 #111 Metha / Breslin Black Falcon 24 Hours of Nurburgring 2010 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 Audi R8 LMS GT3 reproduces car #111, the Black Falcon entry driven by Metha and Breslin at the 2010 Nurburgring 24 Hours. Built on Audi's road-derived V10 GT3 platform, this sealed-body diecast carries a privateer team's livery across a fixed shell.

Not every strong Nurburgring result comes from a factory-backed squad. Black Falcon built its name as a privateer outfit with a particular focus on the Nordschleife, and car #111 captures the team early in that journey.

Minichamps' 1:43 Cast of the #111 Black Falcon R8

Number 111 Livery Detail

Black Falcon's scheme on car #111 favours dark tones broken by sponsor panels rather than a loud, saturated colour, and Minichamps holds that contrast cleanly across the bodywork without letting the darker base swallow the finer graphics. The number and class markings sit with sharp edges rather than a soft outline, and the split between body colour and sponsor decal shows no visible bleed under close inspection. Because the shell is sealed, the livery carries unbroken across the door area, avoiding the interrupted line a working hinge would introduce on a real shut line.

Diecast Heft on a Sealed Body

The body is cast as a single fixed shell, doors, engine cover and boot moulded shut, which is standard for Minichamps' 1:43 GT3 line and keeps the R8's low waistline free of the wider gaps a hinged panel would need. Zinc alloy construction gives the model genuine weight for its size, dense rather than hollow, which helps the wide rear wing and side skirts look properly grounded. The GT3-spec front splitter holds a thin, sharp edge that a softer casting process would likely round off.

Black Falcon and the Nordschleife

A Privateer Team Built Around the Ring

Black Falcon established itself as a German GT team with a particular focus on the Nurburgring's Nordschleife, entering the 24 Hours as a core part of its programme rather than a one-off outing. In 2010 the outfit was still building toward the reputation it would go on to develop at this event across the following seasons, and this R8 LMS GT3 entry sits at an early point in that story, run as an independent team effort rather than under direct factory management.

The R8 LMS GT3's V10 Foundation

The R8 LMS GT3 carried Audi's naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 straight from the production R8, a genuine rarity among early GT3 customer cars for staying so close to its road-going source. That closeness gave independent teams like Black Falcon a package that was both durable and relatively straightforward to run across a demanding 24-hour event, qualities that mattered more on the Nordschleife's twenty-plus kilometres of narrow, unforgiving tarmac than raw outright pace.

A Privateer Entry for a Nurburgring Theme

Car #111 suits a collector building a Nurburgring 24 Hours theme who wants the privateer side of the grid represented alongside the factory-backed entries, since Black Falcon's independent status is part of what makes this particular livery worth including. Set next to the Abt Sportsline or factory Audi entries from the same weekend, it shows the breadth of teams that make up this race. The sealed body and diecast weight keep the livery presentable at close range, which is exactly where a privateer entry like this earns its keep on a shelf.
