Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

What makes model car Formula 1 cars different from other racing cars?

F1 model cars are distinguished by their highly detailed front and rear wings, their treadless slick tires, and their often colorful sponsored liveries. They faithfully reproduce the complex aerodynamics of real single-seaters.

Why are some F1 model cars more expensive than others?

The price depends on several factors: the scale (1/18 is more expensive than 1/43), the manufacturer's brand (Amalgam, BBR being premium), the rarity of the model, and whether it is a limited edition. Cars of champion drivers like Senna or Schumacher are particularly sought after.

What is the difference between a 'race version' and a 'show car' F1 model car?

The 'race version' reproduces the car as it was in the race, with its signs of wear, Grand Prix-specific decals, and sometimes damage. The 'show car' presents the car in perfect condition, often used for official team presentations.

How to recognize an authentic F1 model car from a counterfeit?

Check for the official manufacturer's logo, the quality of the details (spoiler, suspension), the accuracy of the colors and sponsors, and especially the certificate of authenticity. Counterfeits often have incorrect proportions and shoddy finishes.

What is the most surprising anecdote about F1 model cars?

Some F1 drivers even collect model cars of their own cars! Lewis Hamilton has an impressive collection of his Mercedes, and some model cars are even signed by the drivers during autograph sessions in the paddock.
