Ford Capri RS2600 Team Ford Deutschland Shell n54

The Ford Capri RS2600 #54 of Team Ford Deutschland in 1/24 scale: a Group 2 legend on your track

Few touring cars have left such a deep mark on European competition in the seventies as the Ford Capri RS2600. BRM Model Cars brings it back in their reference BRM-188 in 1/24 scale, reproducing the number #54 of Team Ford Deutschland with the iconic Shell sponsorship livery, in one of the most recognisable colour schemes of the era: Ford blue and white.

Features and highlights

• Scale: 1/24, the premier scale for competitive slot racing.
• Livery: Ford blue and white with historic sponsors Shell, Castrol, and Cibié.
• Number: #54, Team Ford Deutschland.
• Auxiliary headlights: Multiple front lights that add authenticity and endurance car character.
• Competition chassis: Rigid, designed for fine tuning and consistent performance on track.
• Anglewinder motor configuration: The motor is positioned at an angle relative to the rear axle, optimising the centre of gravity and power delivery characteristic of this configuration in 1/24 scale.
• High precision components: Calibrated axles, aluminium wheels, and elements that ensure grip and stability.

1/24 scale and level of detail

The 1/24 scale allows for a level of detail and fidelity that few smaller scales can match. In the BRM-188, this translates into a body that faithfully reproduces the lines of the competition Capri RS2600: the low and aggressive front, the rear wing, the side skirts, and that collection of auxiliary headlights that immediately identify it as a GT from the Endurance Series and the DRM (Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft). The decoration is applied with the precision level demanded by the most discerning collectors.

Track performance

The competition chassis of BRM in 1/24 is designed to provide a solid base for thorough adjustment. The anglewinder motor configuration offers a balanced weight distribution and a direct response to throttle variations. The calibrated axles and aluminium wheels complete a set that is stable in fast corners and precise in direction changes. If you are looking for a 1/24 scale car to compete in club racing or simply enjoy on your own track, the BRM-188 is ready from the very start.

• Collectors of classic 1970s GTs and enthusiasts of European touring car racing history.
• Club racers competing in 1/24 scale looking for a solid tuning base car.
• Fans of the DRM, ETCC, and the golden era of Group 2 who want a faithful replica of their heroes on the track.
