Description
Description
Werk83's 1:18 M1 is the car that won the last Procar title: Nelson Piquet's #5 BS Fabrications entry, in the green-over-white colours it raced in throughout 1980.
Procar put Formula One drivers into identical M1s on Grand Prix weekends, so the title went to whoever drove the same car best. Piquet took it on 90 points, a year before his first Formula One world championship.
The series lasted only two seasons, so there are only two champions' cars to collect. This one gives a BMW M shelf the M1 as a title winner, not just a road car.
