BMW M1 #99 T. Hezemans Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18
BMW M1 #99 T. Hezemans Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18
1/8
Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 #99 reproduces Toine Hezemans' 1979 Procar Series entry. The Procar championship put F1 stars behind the wheel of an identical BMW M1 at Grand Prix weekends, and this livery captures that unique moment.
About the BMW M1 #99 T. Hezemans Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 #99 recreates Toine Hezemans' entry from the 1979 Procar Series, the one-make support championship that ran alongside Formula 1 that season. Identical M1 machinery levelled the field, making this livery a genuine slice of a unique racing format.
Putting Formula 1 drivers into identical machinery on Grand Prix weekends was a genuinely novel idea, and BMW built the M1 specifically to make it happen.
Minichamps' Livery Work on a Procar Entry
The M1's wedge-shaped silhouette and mid-mounted engine gave it a genuinely modern supercar profile for its era, and Minichamps' 1:18 diecast captures that low, angular body cleanly, with the #99 livery applied across the doors and rear deck to match Hezemans' documented Procar entry. Because every Procar M1 shared the same basic specification, liveries and sponsor graphics became the main visual differentiator between entries, which makes accurate decal placement especially important for this subject. Diecast opening doors reveal a genuinely stripped racing cabin, appropriate for a car built purely to race.
The Procar Series and BMW's M1 Showcase
BMW created the Procar Series to promote the M1 at a moment when the model needed racing visibility, inviting Formula 1 drivers to compete in identical cars as a support category at Grand Prix weekends in 1979 and 1980. The format gave the M1 an unusually direct connection to F1's biggest names despite never competing in Formula 1 itself.
A Distinctive Piece for a One-Make Series Collection
This M1 suits a collector interested in unusual racing formats as much as BMW history, since the Procar concept remains one of motorsport's more unusual experiments.
