The Williams looks like a FW13B with a different air intake slapped on. Ah! Yes and no - I had initially thought FW13B as well, but I dismissed that idea because of the front of the sidepods - but what I forgot was, that they had the FW13 not-B at the end of 89, and that one had exactly those sidep...

Marco

NOW I notice... the 95 Benetton is actually a 1990 Benetton that has a fake high nose put onto it

Marco

I see what you mean, but the sidepods are totally different, IMHO.

I thought the Benetton might just be a 93 Benetton painted as 95 car, since the rear half looks similar, but the front suspension is different...

A while ago I visited the Simsheim Museum (here in Germany) which has lots of nice exhibits, like both a Concorde and a TU-144 - but to the trained eye the racecar department is a bit... suspicious. While there are a couple of nice racecars, some are definitely not the car they claim to be, e.g. the...

Not 1/43 (it's 1/24), but I just built this nice Zakspeed from a Hasegawa model kit.

Surely they never did one around Nurburgring Nordschliefe? I'm not sure about F1, but e.g. in the sportscar races, like the 1000km, they did a formation lap - but they took a shortcut - on the backside of the old pits, where you turn left into Hatzenbach at Nordkehre, you could then turn right and ...

In 2017, the first races of the F1, Formula E, WRC and WEC seasons were all won by a driver named Sébastien (or Sebastian). Loeb had to go and screw everything up by not winning the opening WRX round (and, I guess, not sticking to WTCC as a driver). Indycar as well. And if we include class wins, th...

Considering Verstappen won each race after Kvyat was fired/demoted, maybe they just want to sack and rehire him every 2nd race, to ensure Verstappen wins 50% of the races in 2019?

Driving an additional BMW for the Misano DTM rounds, the Great Alex Zanardi kept his cool in changing weather conditions to finish a sensational P5!

Marco

The Race in Mid Ohio was absolutely awesome, lots of passing, much of it on the outside, especially by Seabass. I can't stand the F1 attitude of pushing the car on the outside off track, here the drivers give each other room (but not 1 cm more than they have to) and the result is exicting racing. He...

Valentino Rossi just won the GP in Assen, his 10th win on this track and his 115th since 1996. With Vinales falling off, Rossi is also just 7 points behind Dovizioso(!) who took the lead in the championship. Meanwhile Lorenzo switched to wet tires in the light drizzle while the podium stayed on slic...

Sutil confirmed in German TV he has a contract for 2014, but didn't say with which team, yet.

Marco

Well, the engine won a race (in a Lotus Chassis) and the BRM car got a 2nd place with Stewart and a couple of points for Spence, so while it certainly was not a groundbraking effort, there were many, many F1 things, that were much more pointless (as the engine collected 24 points and the car 15, if ...

Hi

Very rejectworthy video from a German GT race 2 hours ago (no F1 driver directly involved, although HHF is the other driver in the Corvette with the big red dot on the side).

I've never seen that before! Oh, wait...

I know I will make myself unpopular here, but when I look at the incident from Hamiltons on-board cam, I think that he had a big enough overlap way before Maldonado turned in, so he had the right to be there, and Pastor turned into the corner as if the McLaren wasn't there...

Don't use a shortcut, but make 2 identical sections of the track, where each driver can choose which one to use. Take Monza: The main straight will be widened and split in 2 lanes shortly before the 1st chicane. You then have the normal chicane to the right for the right lane, and the same, but mirr...

A small garage/parts shop in our village had a formula car in the shop window for some months in the late 90s... they said it was an F3 car, but to me it looked very much like a 1990 Osella (it was painted completely in orange with no sponsors). So if I'm right this was rejectful in many ways: a) Re...
