About the Audi R8 LMS Montaplast By Land-Motorsport #28 C. Haase / S. Ortelli ADAC GT Masters 2016 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 Audi R8 LMS reproduces Land-Motorsport's #28 Montaplast car, driven by Christopher Haase and 1998 Le Mans winner Stephane Ortelli in the 2016 ADAC GT Masters. Diecast, sealed one-piece body, tampo-printed sponsor livery. A second Audi GT3 chapter for collectors already following the series.

Audi's R8 LMS spent years as one of GT3 racing's most successful customer cars, and by 2016 the platform had matured into the LMS proper, run here by Land-Motorsport under Montaplast sponsorship. Pairing a rising Audi factory driver with a proven Le Mans winner gave car #28 a driver lineup worth reproducing on its own merits.

Land-Motorsport's Montaplast Audi R8 LMS in 1:43

Car #28 for Christopher Haase and Stephane Ortelli

Land-Motorsport ran car #28 in Montaplast's blue and orange livery through the 2016 ADAC GT Masters season, fielding Christopher Haase alongside Stephane Ortelli, who had already won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright with Porsche back in 1998. Pairing an experienced endurance winner with a driver deep inside Audi's customer racing structure gave the team genuine championship credibility on a grid packed with factory-backed entries. Minichamps reproduces the Montaplast sponsor arrangement specifically, distinguishing this car clearly from the dozens of other liveries the same R8 LMS chassis wore across German GT3 racing that year. For a collector who already owns an earlier Audi GT3 entry, the visual contrast between seasons and sponsors is part of the appeal.

Livery Registration on a One-Piece Diecast Shell

Montaplast's colour scheme relies on sharply divided blue and orange sections meeting along clean lines across the doors and bonnet, exactly the kind of graphic that shows up any weakness in a model's print registration. Minichamps tampo-prints the livery directly onto the sealed shell, so the colour boundaries sit flat and consistent rather than risking the slight lift a decal edge can show after handling. The body's single-piece construction also keeps the panel gaps around the doors and rear wing uniform, a detail that matters more on a car with this much contrasting colour crossing those lines. Wheel design and brake calliper colour carry the same attention, rounding out a small but genuinely detailed 1:43 casting.

Land-Motorsport's Standing in Audi's Customer Racing Ladder

A Le Mans Winner in the ADAC GT Masters Field

Stephane Ortelli's presence on this entry is worth pausing on. His outright Le Mans win came with Porsche's 911 GT1-98, sharing the car with Allan McNish and Laurent Aiello in one of the closest finishes in the race's history. By 2016 he had settled into a role mixing endurance racing with GT3 programmes like this one, bringing a level of race craft that gentleman drivers on the same grid could rarely match. That experience mattered in a series as competitive as ADAC GT Masters had become by the mid-2010s, where factory-supported teams and paid professional line-ups made the field far deeper than its domestic reputation might suggest to newcomers.

Comparing the 2013 and 2016 R8 LMS Liveries

Set alongside an earlier R8 LMS Ultra from the 2013 season, this Land-Motorsport car shows how quickly sponsor liveries turned over even on the same basic chassis architecture. Audi's customer teams were free to develop their own colour schemes and partnerships season to season, which is exactly why Minichamps found enough material to keep releasing new Audi GT3 liveries year after year without repeating itself. For a collector, that variety is the point: two R8 LMS models from different seasons will look almost nothing alike beyond the shared silhouette, giving a themed Audi GT3 shelf real visual range rather than a row of near-identical castings.

Two Seasons, One Grid: Building an Audi GT3 Set

Audi's R8 LMS produced enough distinct liveries across its competition life that a themed shelf built entirely around the model, spanning different seasons, teams, and sponsors, remains a realistic project rather than an exhaustive one. This Land-Motorsport Montaplast car slots naturally alongside earlier and later entries, its blue and orange scheme providing genuine contrast against whichever companions surround it. When judging the casting itself, look at how cleanly the Montaplast colour boundary runs along the doors, check the wheel and brake detail for legibility, and confirm the paint reads consistently under both direct and ambient light. At an accessible 1:43 price point, this is a model built for collectors assembling breadth across a series rather than chasing a single flagship subject.
