History

Team: SpA Ferrari SEFAC
Drivers: Arturo Merzario - Carlos Pace
Race: 1973 24 Hours of Le Mans
Position: 2nd

Already in 1973, the 50th anniversary of the Le Mans race was commemorated. The Matra Ferrari duel is announced. Matra puts its title of winner at stake, and Ferrari fights to win the World Brand Championship. Before the race at Le Mans, the Italian team scored 95 points against 64 for the French team.

Arturo Merzario’s Ferrari No.16 started on pole. As planned, he plays the role of hare at the start. But on lap 30, when Carlos Pace had taken over three laps earlier, he turned on the small light on the left wing to warn of his return to the pit. In a crash, the driver gets out of the car with the suit soaked in gas; the small buffer tank on the right side leaks into the passenger compartment. It loses 25’ in the pits. When Pace goes back on the road, François Cévert’s Matra took the lead of the race, the other two follow him, and he leaves in 30th position. He improves the lap record. It then begins a long comeback. At 1:15 in the morning, while it is in 5th position, the clutch breaks; a new pit stop immobilizes it at the pit for 37'. It is back in 7th position and still making progress until the end of the race. The team took advantage of the retirement of Ickx – Redman’s Ferrari No. 15 in the last hour of the race to secure second place.

About Le Mans Miniatures

Le Mans Miniatures is a prestigious French manufacturer renowned for producing exceptionally detailed scale models, slot cars, and figurines. The brand is dedicated almost entirely to the rich heritage of motorsport, with a particular focus on the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race.

Unlike mass-market plastic slot cars, Le Mans Miniatures models are crafted from high-quality polyurethane resin and feature remarkable attention to detail, including finely reproduced interiors, aluminium wheels, and professional-grade mechanical components.

Their premium construction and delicate detailing mean they are often regarded by collectors as “rolling dioramas” rather than heavy-duty slot track racers.
