BMW M1 No.72 Le Mans 24H 1981 Rousselot/Servanin/Ferrier in 1:18 scale
This is the BMW M1 No.72 Le Mans 24H 1981 Rousselot/Servanin/Ferrier in 1:18 scale by Spark.
The BMW M1 No. 72, entered by BMW Zol’Auto and driven by Pierre‑François Rousselot, François Servanin, and Laurent Ferrier at the 1981 24 Hours of Le Mans, was one of several M1s tackling the gruelling endurance classic in Group 4 GT specification. Based on BMW’s road‑going M1 supercar with mid‑mounted 3.5 L M88 inline‑6 powerplant and a distinctive multicolour Zol’Auto/VSD livery, this race car stood out among the predominantly European endurance prototypes and GT entries. Despite its performance and spirited driving by the trio, the No. 72 retired around the 20‑21st hour due to engine vibrations and mechanical issues, a fate it shared with several other M1s that year, but its bold presence and unique BMW silhouette still made it a memorable part of the 1981 Le Mans field.
