58090 - 1/10 Tyrrell 019 Ford

About this car:
I got this car from Turkey Istanbul from thanks Hamit.
I built it from new in box.

Specification:
2WD, ball differential monoshock rear, coilspring front uprights
Chassis is a F101, Lexan body, motor type 540.

History:

The Tyrrell 019 was a Formula One racing car, designed by a team led by Harvey Postlethwaite, and built by Tyrrell. It was an evolution of Postlethwaite's first design for Tyrrell, the Tyrrell 018.

The 019 marked a significant point in the evolution of Formula One design in having an elevated nose cone. This was the first time that such an idea had been tried in Formula One racing, and it set the template for aerodynamic design ever since. The car was introduced two races into the 1990 Formula One season, scoring a point on its debut in the hands of Jean Alesi. This type of nose cone was gradually adopted by other teams and became the de rigueur design by 1996 in Formula One. The car was powered by a 3.5L Cosworth DFR V8 - a descendant of the legendary but venerable Cosworth DFV.

Released 11/20/1990

50379 - 1/10 Tyrrell 018

About this Car:
I got the Tyrrell 018 Body set only from Norfolk, United Kingdom Thanks to Vintage Parts. The Chassis came form a Road Wizard that I purchse used and sold the body. The chassis is in good condition. I can be hard to find a Road Wizard Chassis in good condition. Remember this are over 20 years old cars.

History:
 1990     At the 1989 French Grand Prix, Jean Alesi waved a flag saying that here was somebody with talent. At the 1990 United States Grand Prix, his reputation was made, with a starring role in the race. Driving a Tyrrell 018 Cosworth that had no right to be leading a race, he had a dogfight with Ayrton Senna's much quicker McLaren MP4/5B Honda on the streets of Phoenix. Senna eventually got on top of the Tyrrell, but it was a stirring drive which soon had Williams and Ferrari bidding for his services.

50410 - 1/10 Benetton Ford B190

About this car:
This car is something special because is realy hard to find
and is only available as body kit only. The body came from Hong Kong. I was so lucky to find it, love this car so colorfull from benetton. It was an expensive purchase but it was worth it. Looks greate between the other cars. I added the nice rubber slicks Type A front and back set. The chassis also came from a F103 benad new in box. The paint job was a lot of work elese and took me a while to complete.
Take in consideration that the rubber slicks wheels Tamiya run very "Euros" 23.00 expensive 50 to 60 dollars per set tyape A or B.
So if you see cars with Rubber Wheels they will add more value to your car collection. and yes they are very hard to find. Your cars will look better and more realistic.  Definitly an A+ Car

History:
This particular Benetton Formula 1 car was built for the 1990 Formula 1 season, when team drivers were the former three-time World Champion Nelson Piquet, the Italian Alessandro Nannini and later Brazilian Roberto Moreno.
It appears that this particular car was first completed by Benetton in the mid-season of 1990, and was employed as the team spare at Ricard-Castellet for the French Grand Prix, and then again at Silverstone for the following British World Championship round. In 1991 the chassis was taken over for promotional purposes, the 1990 B190 being repainted in 1991 livery to mirror the colours in which that season’s Benetton drivers, Michael Schumacher, Moreno and Piquet campaigned the cars with Ford HB V8 engines installed. In the 1990 Benetton-Ford B-190 cars, Piquet finished 2nd in Canada and won both the Japanese and Australian GPs at the end of the season.

58118 - 1/10 Benetton Ford B192

The chassis is a F102 FRP double deck with 2WD ball differential drive. The car uses a 540 Motor.

About this car:
This car come from the USA, Thanks to Jason. This is not a bad looking car. I like the bright collors on the body shell. I would say I did a good job bringing the car to life.

This is the Formula 1 car was driven by Michael Schumacher in the 1992 season. It was first used by the Benetton Formula Racing Team during the 4th race in 1992 at the Spanish Grand Prix. Powered by the Ford HB V-8 cylinder engine, the car had not so much engine power than the V10 or V12 cylinder engines of the Williams, McLaren or Ferrari.

Because the light weight, compact design and drivability of the engine, the two drivers, Michael Schumacher and Martin Brundle were able to score points in every of the 16 races, including Schumachers first win at then Belgian Grand Prix. The team finished third for the constructor's title in this Grand Prix season.

58156 - 1/10 Benetton Ford B194

About this car:
I found this car in the USA Thanks to Cuong Train. He had this car in excellent shape in a flat base as display. I was amaze when I found this beautifull car, on top of that, the car came with a Collectable Card of Michael Schumacher with picture and signature. This is a grate car for my collection. The car is in excellent condition brand new "display car".

History:
The Benetton B194 was designed by Rory Byrne for the 1994 F1 season. The car was closely based on the previous Benetton B192/3 and powered by a Ford Zetec-RV8 engine (produced by Cosworth but badged as a Ford). The electronic driver aids that had had such an effect on F1 over the previous seasons were banned, so the car had to be redesigned with the new rules in mind. The B194 was a light and nimble car that handled well and was most competitive on twisty tracks unlike the early Williams FW16 which proved difficult to drive thanks to Williams' dependence on electronic driving aids in the previous season. Michael Schumacher's B194 remained the most competitive car until Williams introduced a B-spec car at the German Grand Prix.

The car was very competitive in the hands of Michael Schumacher, for which the B194 was specifically designed to suit his driving style. Schumacher won six of the first seven races of the season after his main rival, Ayrton Senna was tragically killed at the San Marino Grand Prix. Other teams suspected the B194 was not legal, due to the high competitiveness of such a comparatively underpowered car. The FIA launched an investigation and indeed banned software was discovered in the cars' onboard computer systems, but the governing body could not prove the systems had been used so the complaints were dropped. Schumacher himself was subject to controversy, after being disqualified from the British Grand Prix and then the Belgian Grand Prix which allowed Damon Hill to cut into the German's points lead and as they came to the final race in Australia, Hill and Schumacher were separated by one point. Schumacher commented years later that the B194 was actually quite a handful to drive, being twitchy at the rear end.

Jos Verstappen (Schumachers team mate in 1994) on the B194:

"I must have a little the same driving style as Johnny because he said basically the same things about that car that I did and seems to have had the same feelings. It was a very difficult car. You could not feel the limit and so you were pushing and pushing and then suddenly it would have oversteer. Normally when you get oversteer you can control it but the Benetton would go very suddenly and so you ended up having a spin. I had big problems with that car. "

A contentious collision between the two drivers ended the 1994 drivers' title in Schumacher's favour, and the B194 was retired at the end of the season with eight wins and second place in the constructors' championship. The car was replaced by the Benetton B195 for 1995.

58103 - 1/10 Jordan 191 Ford
 
About this car:
I go this car from Hong Kong thanks to Jimmy Chang.
Was New in Box. I added up a set of slicks, the car looks very nice. This car was one of my first proyect.

History:

1991     Bertrand Gachot in the Jordan 191 Ford. It was an impressive debut for the new Jordan team. Gachot cruised through pre-qualifying, then qualified 14th, before finishing a perhaps disappointing 10th. But better results weren't far away for the strongly Irish Jordan team with the pretty green car.

The Jordan 191 was the first Formula One car built by Jordan Grand Prix and participated in the 1991 Formula One season. Five drivers took part in the sixteen round championship for the team. Andrea de Cesaris was the only one to drive the full season, despite failing to pre-qualify for the opening round of the championship in Phoenix. It was also de Cesaris who scored the team's best finish of the season, with a fourth place at both Montreal and at Mexico City. Bertrand Gachot secured his best finish of his shortened season, with a fifth place - just over 2 seconds behind de Cesaris at the finish. Gachot's season was curtailed by a two-month prison sentence, for spraying CS gas at a taxi driver in London.

Over the final six races, three drivers filled in for Gachot - Alessandro Zanardi, Roberto Moreno and a 22-year-old German by the name of Michael Schumacher. Schumacher was a revelation in his one and only race weekend for Jordan. At the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix, Schumacher qualified a superb seventh on the grid (Jordan's joint-best ever at that time), outqualifying de Cesaris who was eleventh. However, the high did not last, as the clutch failed within the first mile of the race. There followed a legal wrangle between Benetton and Jordan, with Schumacher signing for Benetton - a team with which he would later win two world championships - sending Moreno packing from Benetton and Jordan signed him up. He did two races before handing another debutant, Zanardi, his debut in the final three races. A pair of ninths were the best results that any of Gachot's replacements achieved.

In their first season, Jordan finished an impressive fifth in the championship, scoring 13 points along the way. The 191 is also considered by many to be one of the most beautiful Formula 1 cars of all time.

Released  11/12/1992

58126 - Lotus 107b Ford

About this car:
I found this car at the hobby club one guy from Netherlands sold it to me brand new in box. This is a nice car. Thank you Patric

History:
  The Lotus 107 was a Formula One car designed for the 1992 Formula One season, it brought in a final, frustratingly limited and short-lived period of competitiveness for the legendary Team Lotus in Formula One. A fresh design by Chris Murphy (apparently based on an unbuilt design he started at March), it had smooth sweeping lines a world away from the long developed and antique looking 102D. Lotus also harked back to previous glories with a supply of Ford Cosworth HB V8 engines, of a similar - if older - specification to those being used by Benetton. The 107 was the first Lotus to be fitted with a semi automatic gearbox.

With a top notch driving squad of Johnny Herbert and a future double F1 World Champion Mika Häkkinen, the Lotus' were able to bring in some good results - at several races the twin 'Loti' (as BBC commentator James Hunt dubbed them) were able to run in formation on the tail of the leading pack, at least in the early parts of the races. Reliability was not fantastic, but a fair measure of basic speed was obviously there. For a while in 1992 it seemed as if Team Lotus might be able to turn things around and claw their way back to success.

The car was developed over succeeding seasons into B and C variants, the latter with Mugen-Honda power in place of the Cosworth. As was standard practice at the time, the team employed the active suspension technology that they had introduced to F1 back in 1987 on later variants, but the budget wasn't there to make it really work, and besides, it was now far from being a unique capability. Alex Zanardi believesthat the focus on this system was to the detriment of other aspects of the car.

Zanardi (later a two-time Champ Car champion) was an example of the high level of driving talent the team generally continued to employ. Sadly the team's financial difficulties dragged it under at the end of 1994. The Lotus 109, the last Formula One Lotus, which ran in the latter part of 1994, was a further derivative of this design.
