Being on lockdown is so boring I started going through some old boxes in the basement and ran across this. My World Championship winning F1 car. Just as it finished the race other than removing the braid (I was so cheap back then I reused the braid in the next class!). Chassis built by Bob Ainsworth, powered by Pro Slot. Never raced it again.

Solder on top of the left rear tube.
I'm not sure if Bob Ainsworth really built that.
I guess there's a chance that's a quick Raisin repair job. Lol

Great car, Michael.
I never raced F1 as we never had it in SoCal. But I liked to build the cars so here is my Mosetti based car. This is about 92-93, I would guess.
