About the McLaren F1 GTR #41 P-H. Raphanel / C. Gounon / A. Olofsson 24 Hours of Le Mans 1997 UT Models 1:18

TL;DR: This UT Models 1:18 diecast McLaren F1 GTR reproduces the #41 entry at the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by Raphanel, Gounon and Olofsson. The model is used, and its box shows traces of storage; doors and bonnet open. Zinc alloy construction carries the F1 GTR's road-derived shape with real weight.

The McLaren F1 GTR began life as arguably the greatest road car of its generation before being adapted for endurance racing, and a Le Mans-liveried example carries that entire story in a single model.

Build Quality of the UT Models F1 GTR

The doors and bonnet on this casting open, showing off the cabin and engine bay that trace directly back to Gordon Murray's road car design, adapted here for endurance competition rather than left in its original street specification. Zinc alloy gives the model genuine weight, and the GTR's distinctive dorsal fin and revised aerodynamic bodywork, added specifically for its racing programme, are captured with clean, confident cast lines. The livery is applied through printed graphics rather than hand-painted striping, keeping the sponsor and number detail sharp at this scale. As a used model this piece has been displayed before, and its box shows the traces of storage that come with that history without affecting the casting itself.

Le Mans 1997 and the F1 GTR's Legacy

McLaren's F1 GTR had already claimed outright victory at Le Mans in 1995, an extraordinary result for a car adapted from a road-going supercar, and the model continued to compete at the top level of GT racing through the following seasons. The 1997 entry represented a later chapter of that programme, running against evolving GT1 regulations and increasingly purpose-built rivals as the category matured. For collectors, an F1 GTR liveried for a specific Le Mans entry carries real motorsport weight, tied to one of the most celebrated GT racing stories of the 1990s.

Displaying a Le Mans GT Icon

At 1:18 the F1 GTR's wide stance and low roofline give it genuine shelf presence, and it pairs naturally with other 1990s GT1-class liveries or a dedicated McLaren display. Displayed with the doors open, it shows off the cabin detail inherited from the road car that inspired it. Given the used condition, a check of the opening panels and livery on arrival is sensible, but this remains a genuinely significant piece for any endurance racing collection.
