Not sure that's quite the same scale he was looking for.

Cool find though!

It is very nice, but it just doesn't look quite as special somehow, does it? Can't put my finger on why though...

Ohh, I forgot to post that, thanks Martin.

Same photographer of #05R at Le Mans Classic and a good friend.

Re: The definitive 16R thread

Hello 16R, just a question out of curiosity. Do you find any problems in visibility regarding overtaking etc. caused by the central driving position as even in a LH drive car you can often get a look up the nearside of the vehicle in front?

Re: The definitive 16R thread

Just found out about this thread today, and still can't believe the fact that a real Mac F1 GTR owner would take his time to share the experiences with us car lovers :-). Respect to you sir!
Btw, on a sidenote, i'm looking for some reference photos for my custom model (diecast) project that features the #16R chassis as the central subject. I 'm in dire need of some close -up engine shots (and not just the central block but also the exhaust and suspension that can be seen once the rear covers have been removed) and some shots of the dashboard. I know this is kinda a big favor to ask for, but i trust of all places on the Internet, this is precisely where i should go for them :-). So if you don't mind, please share me those invaluable photos . Many thanks in advance!

Re: The definitive 16R thread

He is one of a few F1 owners we have had on here





























Will they do for now? Was it specifically #16R's dashboard and engine / exhaust shots, or any short-tail GTR's?....

Re: The definitive 16R thread

Just note that the engine covers were not orange when it wore the FINA racing livery. They were probably blue like 17R.

It also would not have had those catalysts or mufflers.

I knew there was a reason that didn't seem right.

Thanks Greg.

Re: The definitive 16R thread

Detail shots of the GTR's always astound me, they look so much more complicated and messy than the road cars. Suppose thats the atraction, it's a machine with a purpose and not that of looking nice even though it does so in spectacular fashion. Typical of most racing cars actually come to think of it.
