The two Corally's are at least a decade apart. The new car with red hardware is the current release. We haven't talked about the FSX-10 much. The wide chassis car posted by Dan was made to run against the F102 and F103. The car is very old and it would cost a boat load of money to make the current spec.

Where's the best place to buy clear F-1 bodies? Is the 2016 body the the best way to go? Or is there a best handling one?? I'm planning on doing the 2018 Renault paint scheme!!

Tamiya are about to bring out a 2017 shell and wing set. Which means it'll be far more detailed and actually look like an F1 car instead of the ugly Protoform or slightly less ugly bittydesign offerings.

We have the new Tamiya bodies and wings coming, although the wings are running behind the bodies. From a scale standpoint this is probably the most accurate body on the market at the moment. The Protoform 15 is also a good one. We should have the first round of 2018 decals done and for sale in the next week or so. Fortunately the schemes are somewhat similar to last years so we don’t have to start from scratch

If you have the new Renault design--it's yellow on black--I'd LOVE to get that from you when it's available! It's very distinctive!! What is your timing?

Do you have a website?

Hoping to have the Sauber, Renault, and maybe Williams by the beginning of next week

Not official... but the old McLaren orange over the entire car has been hinted at.



This is obviously someone's personal rendition as there is no halo and the "shark fin" is much too large for the 2018 regs...

Fingers-crossed Alonso has a competitive car - I still think he is hands down the best driver on the grid. And please don't flame me, they are all good, but I believe had he been in a Ferrari or Red Bull the last 3 years then he would've been in the mix for a drivers' title.

Ron Dennis specifically does NOT want sponsors. He wants his cars to be McLaren cars, not Monster Energy McLaren or Alfa Romeo McLaren.

Ron Dennis is no longer involved, the board voted him out several years ago (2015 iirc). Zak Brown is the one who does sponsorship... And if they could get them, you bet they would be on the car.

And that was funny, Serzoni!
