Sweet! I love the F1 cars from the era where men were men - no computers, you actually had to drive these things! 🙂

I really like the old tube frame front engine cars from the 50s. I went to the Mercedes museum a couple of years ago, and they had one with all the panels off - very cool! I can't imagine strapping into one of those and going around the old banked turns at Monza - wait, did they even have seat belts then?

Bill...
The fifties and sixties is my favourite era of F1, in the seventies the cars started getting ugly😠. But in the eighties things started to get better again...

You need to be mentally insane to get in a F1 car from the 50s and floor it around the old Monza banking. but i would kill to have the honor of doing it 🙂

Hi,
Great build.
I think you made a mistake concerning the kit scale...😉

No not really. But it is a tamiya semi assembled diecast model, so most of the credit goes to tamiya really. i did nearly nothing...

Seat belts appeared in f1 in 1969 or 1970...

Thanks Guy. I read on the F1 site that belts weren't compulsory until 1972. I can't believe it! Here in the US at Indy and other series (SCCA for example) belts were required long before that, in the 1950s.

There was basically no safety att all in that era, not even an ambulance or medical team. the drivers had to pay for a medical team with their own money. but later on after way to many deaths i think it was sir jackie stewart who started to address the safety of the drivers and finally made some big changes to the tracks with working barriers and marshals.

Sad indeed. Have you seen the BBC documentary "The Killing Years?" You may be able to stream it from their site.

Yes, i have it in my little collection of documentaries. but it's worth to watch again, it was a while ago now.
