The legend returns!
The BMW M1 Procar is still a central part of the history of BMW M. Designed as a racing car with road registration, the vehicle found its way into private hands not only as a super sports car. With a racing series created especially for the model, BMW M cemented its legendary status. One thing is certain: 40 years after the debut of the first race, the BMW M1 Procar continues to thrill with its highly developed technology, unique design and exceptional performance.
In 1979 and 1980, the BMW Procar Series was one of the most spectacular racing series in the motorsport world. As part of most European Formula 1 races, the five fastest F1 drivers from the practice rounds of the respective Grand Prix took part in it in identical BMW M1s, competing against private drivers, renowned sports car professionals and up-and-coming talents - hardly imaginable in this form today, the series offered a spectacular test of strength that became a great success with the public. The overall winner of the first Procar season was Niki Lauda. The following year, Nelson Piquet secured first place in the overall standings with three victories in a row. On the Carrera track, you can follow in the footsteps of the racing legend and really step on the gas with the white and red racing car. In the very first year of the Procar series in 1979, the likeable Austrian secured overall victory. Can you also set a new best lap time on your Carrera racetrack? The true-to-the-original model is ready and waiting in the Carrera fleet!
A racing legend in red and white
After the end of the BMW Procar Series in autumn 1980, various BMW M1 racing versions also competed successfully in Le Mans and various national championships (including the German Automobile Racing Championship and the American IMSA GTO Championship). The Carrera car is identical to the original in which the famous racing driver Niki Lauda once did his laps. However, it is not only the unusual design, but also the functioning lights for the front and rear as well as the brakes and the individual adjustability of the vehicle by means of coding that put this slot car way out in front.
