Porsche 911 RSR Penske Racing n6 24H Daytona 1973

A Daytona legend arrives at your track: the 1/24 scale Porsche 911 RSR from Penske Racing by BRM.

The BRM-213 faithfully reproduces the Porsche 911 RSR that Roger Penske fielded with the number #6 at the 1973 Daytona 24 Hours, driven by Mark Donohue and George Follmer. That edition of Daytona showcased the mechanical endurance of the 911 RSR, a racing sedan that Porsche developed from the 911 Carrera RS and dominated the GT categories for much of the seventies. BRM has successfully captured in this 1/24 scale piece both the visual essence of that livery and the technical solidity that the Argentine brand has been transferring to slot racing for decades.

Features and highlights

• 1/24 scale, standard format for universal track and club competition.
• Machined aluminium chassis, which lowers the centre of gravity and provides structural rigidity.
• Anglewinder motor configuration (motor positioned at an angle to the rear axle), a balance between traction and weight distribution highly valued in competition.
• Steel axles for greater rolling precision and durability.
• Licensed decoration reproducing the historic livery of Penske Racing, with the number #6 as it appeared at Daytona in 1973.
• Bodywork with impeccable finish and lines faithful to the early seventies Porsche 911 RSR.

Scale and level of detail

The 1/24 scale is the usual reference in club slot racing and federated competition. It allows for a higher level of detail than 1/32, with greater presence on track and more room for customization or tuning. The body of the BRM-213 respects the proportions of the original 911 RSR: the characteristic rear wing, the flared wheel arches, and the unmistakable silhouette of the rear air-cooled engine that made this car a benchmark in seventies endurance motorsport.

Track performance

The combination of low-profile aluminium chassis and Anglewinder motor provides stable and predictable handling, especially in medium and long radius corners. The low centre of gravity enhances grip without sacrificing agility in chicanes. The steel axles minimize vibrations and maintain a clean trajectory even at high speeds. It is a car that performs well out of the box but also appreciates fine-tuning from those looking to maximize its potential in club sessions.

Ideal for…

• Collectors seeking pieces with real history in endurance motorsport.
• Club competitors in 1/24 categories who value a balanced and reliable car.
• Classic slot enthusiasts wanting to bring one of the great icons of the Porsche 911 RSR to the track.
• Those who enjoy both displaying and racing: the robustness of the metal chassis makes it suitable for both uses.

Considerations

As this is a 1/24 car, ensure your setup is compatible with this format before ordering. Check the condition of the braids and guide before each session, as these are the usual maintenance points in any competition slot. BRM offers spare parts for its models, making it easier to keep the car in top condition over the long term.
