About the BMW M1 Procar #6 N. Piquet Procar Series 1979 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M1 Procar #6 recreates Nelson Piquet's 1979 entry in the Procar Championship, the support series that let Formula 1 drivers race identical BMW M1s alongside European Grand Prix weekends. Detailed diecast construction suits a 1970s motorsport or BMW M1 themed shelf.

The Procar series was a strange, brilliant idea: give Grand Prix drivers identical mid-engined BMWs and let raw skill decide the results, no car advantage to hide behind.

Minichamps' Diecast Record of a Procar Support Race

The M1's wedge-shaped Giugiaro-designed body is reproduced with tampo-printed race livery and sponsor markings matched to Piquet's #6 entry, the standard of accuracy Minichamps applies across its historic motorsport range. Doors open to reveal a period-correct cockpit and roll cage, and the mid-mounted engine bay detail behind the cabin gives the car genuine display interest beyond its livery alone. Panel lines along the M1's distinctive wedge nose and slatted rear window stay tight, an important detail given how much of this shape depends on those sharp creases reading correctly at scale.

When Grand Prix Drivers Raced Identical M1s

BMW built the Procar Championship in 1979 and 1980 as a one-make support series using its new M1 supercar, giving Formula 1 stars a chance to race each other in genuinely equal machinery ahead of the main Grand Prix events. Nelson Piquet was among the front-running names in that field, entering car #6 during the 1979 season alongside fellow F1 regulars. The format made for some of the closest racing of the era precisely because it removed car performance as a variable, leaving driver skill to settle every result.

For a collector tracing BMW's motorsport story or the careers of late-1970s F1 drivers, this M1 covers ground few other diecast subjects reach.
