This is the ATS D6 No.9 Long Beach GP 1983 Manfred Winkelhock in 1:43 scale by Spark.

Manfred Winkelhock drove the ATS D6 No.9 at the 1983 Long Beach Grand Prix, a pivotal race in the Formula 1 season. Known for his tenacity and skill, Winkelhock was part of the small but determined ATS team, which was striving to make a mark against more powerful rivals. The Long Beach GP was a challenging street circuit, where precision and braking control were essential. For Winkelhock, this race highlighted his ability to extract performance from the underdog ATS D6, which was powered by the less competitive BMW turbo engine. The 1983 season, marked by significant team instability and changes, stood apart as a year of struggle for many teams, but it also brought moments of brilliance from drivers like Winkelhock, who consistently pushed beyond the car's limitations in the face of fierce competition.
