The car and the race

The BMW M8 GTE marked BMW Motorsport's return to the GTE-Pro category of Le Mans in 2018, after years of absence from the top endurance category. The M8 GTE was developed specifically to compete in the FIA WEC championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with a body based on the production BMW M8 but adapted to the demanding regulations of the category.

The team formed by Nicky Castburg, Nick Eng and Martin Tomczyk was one of the two official teams from BMW Team MTEK that started in the 2018 edition, making that year a historic moment for the Bavarian brand and an image that every motorsport fan remembers with enthusiasm.

• Static model collectors looking for a decoration faithful to a historic moment in motorsport.
• Modelling enthusiasts who want to reproduce the Le Mans 2018 paddock in a diorama.
• Fans of BMW Motorsport and endurance racing who desire an authentic finish.

Aspects to consider

This decal is designed for Scaleauto base. Before applying it, we recommend properly preparing the surface with an appropriate base coat (brands like Vallejo, Tamiya or Kaleido offer excellent primers and sealing lacquers to ensure adhesion and final finish). Once the decal is applied, protect the result with a compatible varnish to fix the details and provide durability, whether the car will run on track or is intended for display.
