So many classic F1 colour schemes, so little time
I do remember that Williams with the Sonic/Sega legs. Would have been around the time of that classis Senna first lap and victory at a wet Donnington Park.
We started the Tamiya Eurocup in the UK during 1992, and I have found a stash of photos from that and the next year. Not sure when I'll have time to look through them But when I do will post the best.
Shame I've misplaced the Fondmetal shell I inherited...the black and red looked very good on track.

Ahh, the F101/F102 days!!! I just dug out my old F102 from the back of my closet a few months ago. The foam tires on it are still in A-1 shape and race-ready!! Wish I could find a new body and rear wing for it, neither are in the greatest of shape. Man, the memories...................

which is a better f1 car to get, the tamiya f104 pro edition, f104 x1, or the 3 racing fgx, I am looking to getting into f1 racing as it looks like a lot of fun, any info would be great thanks

What is the racing surface? Fgx is great on asphalt and competitive on carpet but it requires a lot of effort to make it right. The top deck and front arms are very weak. If you are on a low to medium grip then it is worth the effort. The direct drive cars and the fgx are very close on high traction surfaces but the f104 will be better out of the box. Again it all depends on your surface and your willingness to upgrade tune and spend $$$$ on the car.

tarmac and carpet mostly, so which f104 should i get the f104 x1 or the f104 pro, which handles better out of the box thanks

I don't know the difference in the f104 cars. I run a formula rabbit (fgx conversion) against the f104 so I have a feel for what the f104 can do. The only thing I have seen is that the x1 seems to have a weak t plate. Sorry I'm not much help with the 104 chassis.

I want to thank Tony Phalen, Kody, Christian Tabush, Mike Kennedy, and all of the other F1 drivers who put on a great show for all of us here in Dallas, Texas. It's all captured in this video --> http://youtu.be/jpdxCkV8n6g. No matter how any decisions were made, the A-Main race was 100% Awesome!!! I believe in the final decision that Tony was the winner based on keeping the lead position for over 86% of the race. Kody only had the lead for 2% of the race.
I hope to see you guys again at another F1 race sometime soon.

Testimonial: I will say that after 125 laps with 3 different drivers, My FGX with a McKune chassis on carpet was still running laps at the same speed with no fall off. Once the tires gained heat/traction, they stayed consistent for over 20 minutes. Some would say that is a fluke, but then we took out its sister car and did the same thing to see if we could beat the previous lap times. Both cars, over 20 minutes, nearly identical lap times. And yes my eyes still hurt.
