The modelcar manufacturer Minichamps has replicated the racing cars from the years 2019 and 2021 in different versions.
At the 24 Hour Race on the Nürburgring 2019, Manthey Racing competed with two vehicles. Traditionally with the Grello that was designed in the base colors yellow and green and was piloted by Earl Bamber, Michael Christensen, Kévin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor. In addition also the winner model from the previous year with which Richard Lietz, Patrick Pilet, Fred Makowiecki and Nick Tandy piloted the "anti-Grello", which was designed in the colors green and yellow.
The official Manthey Racing products are available in limited editions in scale 1:43 and 1:18 and with steerable front wheels. With second place for the Grello after the nerve-wracking race, the team was overjoyed. Let's just forget that there was a subsequent penalty afterwards.
Two years later, the Grello not only won the seventh round of the Nürburgring Endurance Series, but also the 24 Hour Race at the same location. These two successes can now be brought back into the living room. Kévin Estre and Michael Christensen were the first to cross the finish line in the 6 Hour Race of the Nürburgring Endurance Series and thus lifted the winner's trophy.
This memory was secured in the strictly limited Manthey Collector's Box and in scale 1:43. The driver trio Matteo Cairoli, Kévin Estre and Michael Christensen won the 49th edition of the endurance classic in the Eifel. This success is rewarded by Minichamps, who produces this vehicle in two versions in scale 1:43. Once in the Manthey-packaging and in the Manthey Collector's Box that is limited to 300 pices. It has been the seventh success for Manthey Racing at the 24 Hour Race, which went down in history as the shortest.
