Ferrari 126C2 #28 Didier Pironi Winner San Marino GP 1982 in 1:12 scale
This is the Ferrari 126C2 #28 Didier Pironi Winner San Marino GP 1982 in 1:12 scale by GP Replicas.
Didier Pironi scored a dramatic and deeply controversial win in the Ferrari 126C2 #28 at the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix on the undulating Imola circuit. This race, boycotted by most FOCA teams, became a Ferrari-dominated showdown featuring a fierce duel with teammate Gilles Villeneuve. In the closing laps, Ferrari signaled “SLOW” to conserve fuel, which Villeneuve interpreted as a command to hold position—but Pironi seized the opportunity, overtaking him at Tosa on the final lap to snatch victory. The move sparked outrage: Villeneuve vowed never to speak to Pironi again, encapsulating the ruthlessness of F1 competitiveness. Sadly, just weeks later, Villeneuve was killed in a qualifying crash, casting a tragic shadow over Pironi’s triumph and turning this race into one of Formula 1’s most poignant and defining moments.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
