Hello - I also found the new forum -
the "Engineer", the user formerly known as the "Enginer"; now in correct grammatical spelling !! I hope my old thread "F1 history" is also welcome here on the new site..... Jaguar Racing - the cat is back ! "Jaguar Racing was formed from the purchase by Ford of Jackie Stewart's Stewart Grand Prix Formula One team in June 1999.
On 14 September 1999, Ford renamed the team as part of its global marketing operations to promote their Jaguar premium car company.
Despite this branding, they continued to use full-works Ford Cosworth engines in the cars, no Jaguar engineering was involved and also served as Ford's official Formula One full-works team." (source:wikipedia.com) F1 season 2000: Jaguar - Cosworth R1

Excellent presentation! Love the Jaguars, even though my great F1 hopes with them were dashed upon the rocks! I tried my hand at making an R3, since none were ever made. And I also did the 9/11 R2 tribute car

Very interesting, i just posted my basic 312 model last week. I can see that the Tecnomodel is a lot better.

One of my favourite drivers of all time - such a tragic loss.
I've just ordered the Tecnomodel this week.

The first "wing car" - the March 701 Grand Prix season 1970/71
From my archive - old Quartzo models from the previous millennium
John Love / South Africa GP, Kyalami 1971 - dnf
Henri Pescarolo / South Africa GP, Kyalami 1971 - P11
"One of the 701's visually distinctive features was the aerofoil shape given to the detachable side-mounted external fuel tanks,
positioned between the wheels.
Before the start of the 1970 season Robin Herd had reckoned on the car requiring a fuel capacity of "well over" 40 gallons for each race.
Each of these side-mounted tanks contained six gallons of fuel that, combined with the main tank behind the driver's seat and two tanks
on either side of the driver within the monocoque, gave the 701 a total fuel capacity of 60 gallons.
The tanks' profile was created by Peter Wright, who at that time worked for March's bodywork contractor Specialised Mouldings.
Although the aerofoil shape was claimed at the time to produce "downthrust" and aid stability,
Herd has since stated that in the turbulent air between the wheels they would only have been marginally effective." (source: wikipedia.org)
Hubert Hahne / GP Germany, Hockenheim 1970 - nq Johnny Servoz-Gavin / GP Spain, Jarama 1970 - P5
Mario Andretti / GP Spain, Jarama 1970 - P3

Brilliant displays and images as usual! I recently read an MotorSport article on Chris Amon and his experience with the March 701. I found it interesting, here's the link: Chris Amon: Worst F1 Cars I Drove

Love the weird shapes and aerodynamic experiments the late '60s and early '70s gave us in F1. Such a distinctive style.
