About the BMW M1 Cassani Racing Team #55 M. Winkelhock Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 #55 reproduces Cassani Racing Team's 1979 Procar Series entry, driven by Manfred Winkelhock. Identical machinery across the Procar field made livery and driver pairing the defining detail of each entry in this unique support championship.

Winkelhock's name carries genuine weight within German motorsport history, and his Procar entry adds real substance to this particular M1 livery.

Minichamps' Livery Precision on a Procar Entry

Because every Procar M1 shared the same wedge-shaped body and mid-engined layout, Minichamps' attention to sponsor graphics and number placement is what separates one collectible entry from another, and the #55 Cassani Racing livery is reproduced with that same documented accuracy across the doors and rear deck. The M1's low, angular silhouette translates cleanly into 1:18 diecast, and opening doors reveal the genuinely stripped racing cabin built purely for competition.

Winkelhock and BMW's Unique Support Series

Manfred Winkelhock went on to a respected career in touring car and sports car racing, and his participation in the 1979 Procar Series came during BMW's ambitious effort to showcase the M1 alongside Formula 1 weekends using identical, closely matched machinery. The format gave lesser-known teams like Cassani Racing a genuine chance to compete on equal terms with better-funded outfits.

Another Piece of BMW's Procar Story

This M1 suits a collector building out the full Procar grid, where each additional livery adds another documented chapter to a genuinely unusual and short-lived racing format.
