About the Ford Capri Group 5 #52 Sachs H. Ertl DRM Zolder 1980 MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Ford Capri Group 5 recreates the #52 Sachs-liveried entry driven by Hans-Joachim Ertl at Zolder in the 1980 DRM. Extreme flared arches and silhouette-era bodywork make this one of the more visually dramatic pieces in a German touring-car collection.

Group 5 silhouette racing turned road cars into barely-recognisable wide-bodied monsters, and this Capri wears that transformation as aggressively as any car from the era.

MCG's Silhouette-Era Build

The Capri's Group 5 bodywork carries enormously flared arches, a deep front spoiler and a rear wing that dwarf anything seen on a road car, and MCG's diecast tooling handles that extreme width convincingly rather than looking undersized. The Sachs livery is applied with clean sponsor lettering across the flanks and bonnet, and the number 52 sits prominently on the doors, matching period photography of Zolder-era DRM grids. Diecast weight is substantial given the wide bodywork's extra material, and the racing wheels fill those flared arches properly rather than looking lost inside them, a common weak point on cheaper silhouette-car diecast.

Collecting Group 5's Most Extreme Machines

The German DRM series of the late 1970s and 1980 produced some of touring-car racing's most visually extreme cars, and the Capri Group 5 sits among the most recognisable of that generation, distinct from the tamer touring cars that followed once regulations tightened. At 1:18 the widened bodywork gives this Capri considerably more shelf presence than a standard road-going Capri, and displaying it beside other Group 5 silhouette racers, rather than road Capris, shows off just how far these cars departed from their showroom origins. For collectors specifically drawn to Group 5's short, dramatic era, this Zolder-liveried Capri is a genuinely strong subject.
