1 / 5
Minichamps' 1:43 Audi R8 LMS Ultra reproduces car #1, the EK Sport entry driven by S. Asch and Stoll in the 2013 ADAC GT Masters season. The diecast body is a sealed one-piece shell, so the story is told entirely through tampo-printed livery, sponsor graphics, and wheel detail rather than opening panels. A precise slice of German GT3 racing for collectors building a touring or endurance shelf, and an easy companion to other ADAC GT Masters liveries from the same era.

About the Audi R8 LMS Ultra #1 EK S. Asch / Stoll ADAC GT Masters 2013 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 Audi R8 LMS Ultra reproduces the #1 EK Sport entry driven by S. Asch and Stoll in the 2013 ADAC GT Masters. Diecast, sealed one-piece body, tampo-printed livery with race-correct sponsor graphics. A precise slice of German GT3 racing for a touring and endurance-focused shelf.

Minichamps built its reputation on documenting Germany's domestic racing scene down to the individual car, and this R8 LMS Ultra is a good example. ADAC GT Masters fielded dozens of Audi entries across a season, and the EK Sport #1 car carries its own distinct sponsor layout worth studying closely.

Minichamps' Audi R8 LMS Ultra in ADAC GT Masters Livery

The #1 EK Sport Entry for Asch and Stoll

Car #1 puts EK Sport at the head of the 2013 ADAC GT Masters entry list, running S. Asch and Stoll as the driver pairing across the season. Minichamps reproduces the specific sponsor panels and number-board typography that car carried that year rather than a generic Audi GT3 livery. That distinction matters in a series where a dozen or more R8 LMS variants might share a single grid, each wearing a completely different sponsor arrangement. Getting car #1's layout right, down to placement and colour separation, is what separates a model built for a casual Audi fan from one built for someone who watched that season unfold weekend by weekend.

Tampo-Printed Detail on a Sealed 1:43 Body

At this scale, the body is a single sealed casting rather than a shell with moving panels, and that construction choice suits a race car whose story lives on the surface. Minichamps applies its livery via tampo printing rather than decals, laying colour directly onto the shell so sponsor text sits flat without the raised edge a transfer would leave. Panel gaps are moulded rather than cut, holding a consistent line around the door and wing sections that a hinged body could not guarantee at this size. The wheels carry printed brake discs and correct rim design, and the ride height matches the lowered GT3 stance rather than a road car's taller setting. Nothing here needs to open for the model to do its job.

Audi's Customer GT3 Programme and the R8 LMS Ultra

From R8 LMS to the Ultra Evolution

Audi introduced the R8 LMS in 2009, adapting its road-going supercar into a GT3 customer racer at a time when few manufacturers offered a genuinely competitive turnkey package. The Ultra update arrived a few years later, shedding weight and sharpening aerodynamics while keeping the format that made the car popular with privateer teams: reliable, well-supported, and quick enough to win outright rather than simply make up the numbers. By 2013 the R8 LMS Ultra was a mature, well-understood platform, which is part of why EK Sport and so many other teams ran it that season rather than switching to a newer rival design.

ADAC GT Masters as Germany's GT3 Proving Ground

ADAC GT Masters built its reputation as one of Europe's toughest domestic GT3 series, mixing professional teams with gentleman drivers across a calendar of German and Central European circuits. The series became a genuine finishing school, with drivers moving from its grids into international GT programmes and factory rides. For a manufacturer like Audi, strong representation in ADAC GT Masters mattered commercially as much as any single result, since it kept the R8 LMS visible to the exact customer base likely to buy the next generation of the car. That commercial logic is why Minichamps found a ready audience for reproducing individual liveries from the series rather than treating it as a footnote to bigger championships.

Placing a GT3 Grid Car on the Shelf

A 1:43 GT3 car works best as part of a set rather than a single statement piece, and the R8 LMS Ultra's compact footprint makes that practical on an ordinary cabinet shelf. Collectors building an ADAC GT Masters theme can pair this EK Sport entry with rival liveries from the same season, letting the grid tell its own story through colour and sponsor variety rather than through any single hero car. Judge the casting the way you would judge any sealed 1:43 racer: check the sharpness of the sponsor text under close inspection, the evenness of the paintwork across larger panels, and whether the number board registers cleanly against the body colour. On those terms, this is a straightforward, honestly priced way into German GT3 collecting rather than a flagship purchase.
