Just timing. Plus, it was fairly easy to get hold of David and get the Brabhams done. I do have cars signed from Dan/AAR, but as stated previously, other historic cars will not be done for a while now. More modern stuff needs doing before most of that.
Mansell's F1/89...loved the simple clean coke bottle shape... FW14 close 2nd. Modern cars loving the Mclaren's attention to swoopy details...
Anything pre-computer designed. If they had to sculpt the thing with their hands, then it's a real piece of art. If some computer program spits out the shape, to me it is not as beautiful. Think about it, some of these VERY old cars, some guy had to bang away with his hammer till the shape was right.
To me this is the most iconic car since i watch f1 http://f1visaotecnica.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/lotus85.jpg But i know this unfair. I' brazilian and was 11 years old at this time. Now i'm old enough to realize that was too many 11 yars old children in every year on every f1 race seeing what it is one the most beautiful machines build by men at the time till my day come. After that, the tradition continues nowadays on every race, many 11 years old boys around the globe become fascinated for one of that piece of qork and art.
- Mercedes-Benz W165 - Alfa Romeo 158 (remember it was designed in the 1930s) - AAR Eagle T1G Weslake Of more recent times - Ferrari F187 - Tyrrell 019 - Minardi M192
I suppose you mean the 1969 Ferrari 312 F1 although 1970 Ferrari 312b F1, is generally considered to be the most beautifull F1 car ever btw, please post full images people, not links and stamps
@Tim: Are you saying you have cars from Dan Gurney/AAR? If so does that mean we are talking about Trans American stuff? 1970 'Cuda?
Right, this was me and my dad guessing cause my grandad worked for Cooper grand prix team in the 50's I think
Trying to remember what all AAR raced in. I only really paid attention to that team when they did the TA series.
Given the time frame that AAR had a team going, I would think that it is very likely the eagle for one. Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_American_Racers A pair of different Eagle's on that page for them. This is a quote from AAR's site:
too hard to say as so many different beautiful designs and eras. But in terms of post 2000, id say Ferrari F2007, especially in later config and with un-censored Marlboro logos.
I would think (and certainly hope) that your right there mate... Dan`s Eagle Mk1/T1G in rf2 with real road and weather and 60`s Spa/Monaco/Monza and more... Just totally
Seeing as Tim did say a couple of different series, I would guess that we're talking about F1 and F5000 cars, though not absolutely sure as there is always the small possibility of an Indy car.
And this: Aspro V12 and V10 engines, you'll be missing, even more when they release those stupids V6T.
Yeah this one! did I say shark nose Too bad they had to go back to traditional fw design as walrus nose didnt turn out to be good for front downforce..at that time I thought this was going to next big design stye for next generation cars..
I love the early and mid 90s F1 cars. They were low and wide and looked like fragile beasts. The 1995 Ferrari is a nice one
