    This is the BMW 3-Series M3 #44 Winner Div. 2 1000km 1987 Bathurst in 1:18 scale by WERK 83At the 1987 1000 km Bathurst, the BMW 3-Series M3 Team JPS (John Player Special) #44 driven by Tony Longhurst and Jim Richards delivered a thrilling Division 2 victory in one of Australia’s most demanding endurance races. Longhurst — a versatile racer with success in touring cars and sports sedans — and Richards — a multiple Australian touring car champion and Bathurst winner — combined blistering pace with mechanical sympathy and strategic patience to keep the #44 M3 up front over the punishing Mount Panorama circuit. What set the 1000 km Bathurst apart from many other races was its unique mix of high-speed straights, tight mountain sections, and off-camber corners on a public-road course transformed into a race track, demanding tire and brake management, courage over blind crests like Skyline, and perfect coordination through day-night transitions — a very different challenge from traditional closed-circuit endurance events.Werk83 1:18 scale diecast models are highly detailed collector pieces. Known for their precise proportions, accurate sponsor liveries, and finely replicated interiors and engines, Werk83 aims to capture the raw spirit of motorsport machines.  These models are made of diecast metal with authentic tampo-printed graphics, realistic wheels and tires, detailed cockpits with roll cages and racing seats, and opening parts on select releases.
