The legacy of the Benetton B 195
The Benetton B 195 represents one of the most successful chassis in the history of the Italian team. Designed under the technical direction of Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne, this single-seater benefited from the power of the Renault RS7 V10 engine. The 1995 season was particularly successful for Benetton, with Michael Schumacher at the wheel of the number 1 B 195 winning his second consecutive world title.
Experienced British driver Johnny Herbert drove the number 2 car and made a significant contribution to the team's success. His consistency and talent helped Benetton win the constructors' title that year, cementing the reputation of this exceptional racing car .
The British Grand Prix anecdote
Johnny Herbert's most memorable moment at the wheel of this number 2 B 195 remains without a doubt his victory at the 1995 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Starting from eighth on the grid, the British driver drove a tactically perfect race in the pouring rain. Taking advantage of his rivals' mistakes and a bold tire strategy, Herbert gradually moved up the rankings.
Emotions ran high as he crossed the finish line as the winner in front of his home crowd. This victory, Herbert's first in Formula 1, transformed the blue Benetton into a legend. The images of his uncontrollable joy on the podium, drenched in champagne in front of thousands of cheering British fans, remain etched in the memory of motorsport fans.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
