Vintage Formula One
Finally…. a 1960's style 10th scale Formula One body that looks good, designed well and performs great…
We can all thank Manny for all the hard work and long hours he put into this body… After a pathetic attempt in making my own vintage body, Manny is my hero…
Racing naturally pushes the envelope of performance…
More grip, more down-force, more durability , ect… What if we turned back the clock and raced cars that required finesse to power around a track, a car that had more power then grip and demanded the driver to ride that razors edge… A car that had vulnerability and consequences for going over the line… VF1 is not a class for most drivers… This is an enthusiast class, meant for a driver that wants to push himself and master car control, focusing on clean passing and the sheer joy of the battle…
Could have made the rules easier for this class, but why not give reverence to an era in formula one history that demanded so much from the driver… This can not be a rehashed version of UF1 which I love so much… I know the break-away front arms will put off a lot of people , but those few who get it, will love it…

consequences for crashing shouldn't be limited to the poor car. the driver must also suffer...
something like this should be implemented... (skip the first minute of the video)

Drove the car at Camarillo today... looks so nice going around the track... same set up as my current F1 body but somehow looks like the body is leaning over more ...
If we can get 10 of these at the Speed-tech race at Tamiya in May... nice...

I live north of the border so I wouldn't be racing but I just sent an e-mail to Manny to see if he will sell me a body. I love the cars from this era.

FAQ page ( http://vf1club.com/rules.html )
I've made 10 sets... first 5 people ( besides me ) who register for the Speedtech Club race at Tamiya will get it free... after that I will sell it at cost for $7

I have an Extra exotek 104 chassis lying around any info if the body will fit this 104 version? Thanks for your time.
