issue 7 now available at borders ioi city mall putrajaya

Next up is this Toleman of Senna 1984.
Any significance with this car? Planning to skip cos' it looks more like a wacky racer rather than an F1 car.
But then again it's kinda unique as well...

its ayrton senna's debut car in F1

With the word “candy” at the side, it does look wacky hehe

It is significant if you're a die hard fan of Senna.

1. It is the car where he made his F1 debut season 1984.

2. At the 1984 Monaco GP, with wet weather conditions, Senna displayed his wet driving talents. Starting from 13th he overtake the field in the difficult conditions. He even came close to wining the race as he was fast catching up to then race leader Alain Prost and even passed him. But then the race was stopped prematurely with red flag as the conditions was deemed too dangerous to continue. According to the rules, when the race was stopped, the results was based on the positions from the previous lap. Senna overtook Prost at the lap (just infront of the Start/Finish line) where the race was red flagged, so his overtake does not count. Conspiracy theories by Senna fans claims the FIA (whos then president was a French) was in cahoots with Prost (French) and robbed Senna his first win. Still it was a great acheivement, 2nd place at his first season, in the rain, at Monaco. It would be a foreshadow of Senna's acheivements at later seasons.



3. It was jointly designed by Rory Byrne and Pat Symonds. Both would went on to design championship winning cars, Byrne designed the Schumacher era Ferrari cars while Symonds would be responsible for Alonso's championship winning Renaults.

middle spoiler macam senget?

yeah a bit. i didnt bother me that much since what you pay is what you get

Mine also cacat sikit on rear spoiler paint. The paint a bit wrinkle. Not sure it was human error or due to exposure of sunlight. however this model is such a beauty.

is it really issue #6 have 4 antennas on the Ferrari? couldn't find any on the shelf. huhu

Same here.

I already got the 3 antenna/high downforce model but out of curiosity looked and found none of the other when I went to a few Popular outlets in Klang Valley and Penang. A very limited run edition perhaps?

my issue mclaren also has this slight misalignment, but I am not so OCD LAH
