About the BMW M1 Motul #10 B. Darniche / A. Mahe Rally Tour de Corse 1982 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast BMW M1 Motul #10 reproduces Bernard Darniche and Alain Mahe's entry at Rally Tour de Corse 1982. Sealed diecast construction holds sharp livery on the M1's wedge-shaped bodywork, a genuinely uncommon rally application for a car more associated with circuit Procar racing.

The M1's mid-engine supercar layout made it an unusual choice for rallying's twisty tarmac stages, yet Tour de Corse's demanding mountain roads gave it a genuine, if rare, competitive outing.

Diecast Casting of a Supercar-Turned-Rally-Weapon

The M1's dramatic wedge profile and pop-up headlamps give diecast genuinely distinctive angular surfacing to reproduce, and this casting holds those sharp creases cleanly, a solid metal shell suited to a subject with genuinely low ground clearance for rally use. Sealed construction keeps shut lines tight around the doors, and Motul's livery, likely bold and legible against the M1's simple flat panels, is reproduced with sharp graphics. Zinc alloy gives real weight, an honest reflection of a genuinely serious mid-engine competition machine adapted for an unconventional discipline.

A Rare Rallying Chapter for M1 Collectors

M1 collectors typically focus on the Procar circuit racing series the car was actually designed for, making this Tour de Corse rally entry a genuinely unusual and valuable find for anyone chasing the full breadth of the M1's competition history. Tarmac-focused Corsican stages suited the car's low stance better than looser gravel would have, worth noting for context. Displayed alongside Procar-liveried M1s, this rally variant tells a fuller, more surprising story.
