MICHAEL SCHUMACHER'S OTHER NOTABLE RIDES #2

FERRARI 412 T2 FIRST TEST ESTORIL 1995

Date: 8th. November, 1995

Place: Estoril Circuit, Portugal

Michael's first ride in Ferrari

 

Really I didn’t wait too long to get this piece completed.

Not much different from Alesi version at one glance.

However, so much tedious works needed to get where we are now.

 

 

Schumacher helmet replaces Alesi’s.

Car number has been removed.

Marlboro markings are added.

 

Small humps are added on the nose and to the side of air intake.

 

Front antenna is relocated, while longer side antenna is created.

So very hard to finish off this work, with all the distractions in Circuit de Catalunya and at the Etihad.

Pastor Maldonado literally set Williams on fire. Then, Kun Aguero made half of Manchester blue, while the other half seeing red. Unbelievable.

1995 FERRARI 412 T2 JEAN ALESI

Alesi had his only GP win in this car.

Right on his 31^st. birthday, after so many misses and misfortunes, he finally nailed in 1995 Canadian GP.

Alesi started his F1 career in 1989 with a bang.

In his debut race with Tyrrell, he just missed a podium after starting 16^th on the grid.

A year later, he was even closer to the checkered flag. In Phoenix, he led the race at one point, went wheels to wheels with Senna before conceding the race to him at the end. In Monte Carlo, again Senna got the best of him again.

Let's keep Alesi glory last over here.

I plan to covert this car into Schumacher’s first Ferrari ride, the test drive in Estoril on 8th. of November 1995

TOYOTA CELICA ST205 MARLBORO 1996 32nd 24HRS YPRES FREDDY LOIX

Fast Freddy starts dominating Ypres in 1996 with this car.

I think until now, he has won a record of seven times in Ypres.

That year, almost all the top 5 cars were ‘smoking’ fast.

The winner, Freddy Loix / Sven Smeets, Toyota Team Belgium

 2^nd Armin Schwarz / Denis Giraudet ,Toyota Castrol Team 

 3^rd  Patrick Snijers  /Dany Colebunders,  Bastos Ford Rally Team

 4^th Renaud Verreydt / Jean-Manuel Jamar, Toyota Team Belgium 

 5^th Bernard Munster / Jean-François Elst, Renault Belga Team

1988 DALLARA F388 ALFA ROMEO NOVAMOTOR MARLBORO F3 PHILIPPE GACHE

RENAULT 5 TURBO MARLBORO JOHN VOS EUROPA CUP 1982?

 The one I am not very familiar with. Even decal package does not give clearer indication of which year is.

 

 

Renault 5 Europa Cup, as I heard has been first organized by Renault Netherlands. It was however, been held mainly in Zandvoort, Zolder and Nogaro.

Later, it spreaded to all over Europe in no time.

 

This car belongs to an unassuming John Vox, who is one of the regular participants.
