MICHAEL SCHUMACHER'S OTHER NOTABLE (FICTIONAL) RIDES #3 JORDAN 191 FORD RS200

Haven't been too active recently.

 I just slipped into fiction and get this materialized.

 

 

Never thought it could come out this good.

 

 

 And I think it is a truly limited edition, 1 of 1.

TOYOTA COROLLA FORTUNA CARLOS SAINZ 1998 FORMULA RALLY DE MADRID

  

Through twisted track, this Corolla maneuvered its way into final race with ease.

At the end, it bowed out to the unexceptional form of Colin McRae in Subaru WRC.

One of the best liveries on a Corolla. Fortuna red with green flashes of Castrol, unlike whole red as in Oviedo.

Moya was not there during the actual race, but I still keep his seat anyway.

Hard to believe, this is a High Speed / Corgi model.

But with R43 8 spoke gravel wheels that cost more than the car itself, it fittingly looks more realistic.

Reji decal for Oviedo is good but not enough for Madrid. I need to use Corolla work decal for those Castrol green patch and Movistar markings.

PORSCHE 911 GT1 STUCK BOUTSEN WOLLEK 1996 LE MANS

Hans-Joachim Stuck piloted one of new Porsche 911 GT1 racing cars at Le Mans with Thierry Boutsen and Bob Wollek. 

 They went on to win GT1 class and finished second overall behind TWR-Porsche World Sports Car.

 

I brought this model up as I plan to convert it into this one

SUBARU IMPREZA STOMIL OLSZYN 1997 RALLY POLAND HOLOCWYC POLSKI

In 1997, Krzysztof Holowczyc  and his long time co-pilot Maciej Wislawski won  1997 European Championship title.

The break out year that everyone in rally fraternity realized he got what it takes to get to the next level, WRC.

He took it all in Albena, Elpa Halkidikis and Cyprus.

He was on podium in Deutchland and Poland.

Equally fast, but unlucky to some extents, in El Corte Ingles and Piancavallo.

This is 1997 Rajd Polski version where he finished 3rd.

Fought tooth and nail with his fellow compatriot Janusz Kulig.

The rally went to Snijers in Escort WRC Bastos.

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.
