The Ford Capri III Turbo Pocket Speed Group 5 with start number #2 in white-red Würth colours is one of the most iconic racing cars in motorsport history. Driven by the legendary German driver Klaus Ludwig, this car won the opening race of the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft (DRM) season on the circuit of Zolder in 1981, which was the prelude to achieving the overall DRM championship in 1981.
This particular historic racer is also world famous as a scale model among collectors, produced by brands such as Fly (Slotcars) and WERK83.
