Porsche 956B 2.6L Turbo #19 1985 1000km Spa Stefan Bellof/Thierry Boutsen in 1:12 scale
This is the Porsche 956B 2.6L Turbo #19 1985 1000km Spa Stefan Bellof/Thierry Boutsen in 1:12 scale by WERK83.
At the 1985 1000 km of Spa, held on September 1 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Stefan Bellof (Germany) and Thierry Boutsen (Belgium) drove the #19 Porsche 956B for Brun Motorsport. The race was marred by tragedy when Bellof, attempting to overtake Jacky Ickx's Porsche 962C at the high-speed Eau Rouge corner, collided with Ickx's car. Bellof's Porsche crashed into the barriers and caught fire; despite rescue efforts, he was pronounced dead shortly after. The race was stopped early out of respect, and the incident led to increased scrutiny of safety measures in motorsport, highlighting the inherent risks of high-speed racing.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
