Your eye and memory are amazing. Yes, it is a model shot I got off the forum here and I spent 5 mins in Photoshop.

LOL - thanks man - I do my best and having a photographic memory helps immensely.

Actually the thing that gives it away as being a diecast is the steep vertical angle of the rear airfoil. They don't get that high on a real F1.

Just remembered something else from that board...someone posted that the F1 is the brainchild of Bruce McLaren (who died in 1970, I believe)!

I wonder if they also think Enzo Ferrari was behind the Ferrari Enzo.

They like these wheels, & they call the F1's ugly...:

the wheel on the top right was used on sports cars in the 70's-80's. They are similar to the ones used on some porsches and ferrari dinos

I think I remember seeing a similar wheel to that one on a Lamborghini Miura.

I wasn't knocking those wheels, although it looks like it to some. I was just using them as an example, to compare their style to the McLaren's.
