About the Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 #9 K. Fritzinger / H. Heyer Team Europa Möbel 6 Hours of Nürburgring ETCC 1973 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the number 9 Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 run by Team Europa Möbel for Fritzinger and Heyer at the 1973 6 Hours of Nürburgring, a round of the European Touring Car Championship. The Capri RS2600 was one of the dominant touring cars of the era.

Through the early 1970s the Capri RS2600 was the car to beat in European touring car racing, and by 1973 the competition from BMW's CSL was only just beginning to catch up.

Minichamps' Livery Detail on a Front-Engine Tourer

The Europa Möbel livery gives this Capri a distinctly commercial, period-correct look, sponsor graphics and all, and Minichamps keeps the lettering crisp rather than blurred, which matters given how much text period touring car liveries typically carried. Number 9 sits clearly on the doors and roof, and the widened wheel arches, a genuine RS2600 competition modification, house properly sized tyres rather than a token narrow set. The car's stance stays low and aggressive, and the front grille and driving lights, essential kit for endurance events run into fading light, are rendered with real depth rather than flat paint.

The Capri RS2600's ETCC Dominance

The Capri RS2600 was, for a short but significant stretch in the early 1970s, the car to beat in the European Touring Car Championship, taking manufacturer and driver honours as Ford's Cologne-based competition department pushed the V6-powered coupe hard against increasingly serious rivals. By 1973, BMW's CSL was emerging as the Capri's most credible challenger. The 6 Hours of Nürburgring demanded genuine endurance from both car and crew rather than a single flat-out sprint, and entries like this Europa Möbel Capri represent the competitive depth beyond the factory frontrunners.

Rounding Out a 1970s European Motorsport Shelf

Placed alongside a period BMW CSL or Escort rally car, this Capri fills out a picture of European motorsport in the early 1970s that spans circuit racing and forest rallying alike.
