The Slotcars
The Fly Car Models "TEAM20" BMW M1 Marlboro Twin Pack is a highly sought-after, limited 1:32 scale slot race set. This collection set includes the two iconic Marlboro-sponsored BMW M1s that took part in the International Wynn's 1000 km from Kyalami in South Africa on November 3, 1979.
There are only 400 pieces of this particular duo box produced worldwide, which makes it a beloved collectors item.
Contents of the Twin Pack
The set contains two detailed analog slotcars:
BMW M1 #7 (Team Ron Dennis): Driven by F1 drivers John Watson and Jochen Mass. They took the pole position during qualifying and finished the race in 4th place.
BMW M1 #11 (Team Helmut Marko): Driven by the promising talents Markus Höttinger and Hans-Georg Bürger. Unfortunately, this car had to leave the race early due to a failure.
Technical Specifications (1:32 Scale)
Drive: Rear-wheel drive with a sidewinder engine setup.
Car-Union Castle
System: Standard analogue, but easy to convert to digital jobs of, for example, Carrera or Scalextric with a suitable digital chip.
Car-Union Castle
Details: Known for the extremely faithful body details and a fully developed interior (including roll cage, detailed helmets and dashboard)
The Real Car
The real-world counterpart to that specific slot car twinpack tells a fascinating story of motorsport history. The BMW M1 Procar (internally designated E26) was a mid-engined masterpiece specifically developed under Jochen Neerpasch (the head of BMW Motorsport) to challenge Porsche in Group 4 sports car racing.
To satisfy the FIA's homologation requirements, BMW had to build at least 400 road-going versions of the M1. Because production delays at Lamborghini threatened to disqualify the car from racing on time, BMW cleverly created the standalone BMW Procar Championship. This legendary support series ran alongside European Formula 1 race weekends in 1979 and 1980, pitting top F1 drivers against one another in identical M1s.
The 1979 Kyalami 1000 Km Race
The twinpack specifically replicates the grids from the non-championship Wynn's 1000 km of Kyalami held in South Africa on November 3, 1979.
At this grueling endurance event, a fleet of five BMW M1 Procars dominated the field. The two Marlboro-sponsored entries featured the following real-world setups:
• Car #7 (Project Four Racing): Entered by Ron Dennis (who later famously headed McLaren F1). Driven by F1 stars John Watson and Jochen Mass, it was the fastest car on the grid. Mass put it on Pole Position with a blazing lap time of 1:25.34. They eventually finished 4th overall after completing 219 laps.
• Car #11 (Team Helmut Marko): Entered by current Red Bull Racing advisor Helmut Marko, this car was handed to up-and-coming Austrian/German youngsters Markus Höttinger and Hans-Georg Bürger. Unfortunately, they had to retire early during the race.
