The Slotcar
The Fly 88322 BMW M1 #72 is a 1:32-scale model car of the legendary BMW M1 with the standout luxury VSD-rainbow-livery (from the French magazine VSD).
Features
Scale: 1:32 (Ready-to-run/suitable for analog orbits like Scalextric and Carrera with the right chip)
Engine: Short Can, ca. 18,000 RPM (Sidewinder engine setup)
Gear ratio: 11/36
Lighting: No lights
Digital compatibility: Suitable for Scalextric Digital (C7005 / SISP15B) or Carrera Digital (26732 / SISP43) with optional chips.
The Real Car
The BMW M1 #72, sponsored by the French magazine VSD and enrolled by the team BMW France Zol'Auto, participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1981 in the Group 4 class. The iconic car experienced a dramatic course during the legendary endurance race and fell out in the closing stages.
Important statistics and details
Riders: Pierre-François Rousselot, François Sérvanin and Laurent Ferrier.
Class: Group 4 (GT).
Result: Not finished (DNF).
Cause failure: Severe engine vibrations and eventual engine failure in the 21st hour of the race.
Number of laps: 212 laps completed before the failure.
Historical context
During the 1981 edition, a total of six copies of the BMW M1 were at the start. The team Zol'Auto deployed two cars with the familiar green-and-white VSD stickering: the legendary #51 (a Group 5 car groomed by Sauber that finished 16th) and this #72 Group 4 machine. Although the #72 was a strong race, the well-known problems with the crankshaft silencer and subsequent violent vibrations caused the car to give up just before the finish on Sunday morning.
