Ayrton Senna Lotus 99T 1987

Auto Credit Based on Mage2IsTriggered's Formula 1 Challenge [CLOSED]

Saw this challenge and immediately thought, Ayrton Senna. (That and how the hell do you make cars!?!)

This is a simple replica of Senna’s Lotus 99T that competed in the 1987 season. Suitably I’ve completed it in the Camel yellow and blue and made a hash of some basic brands.

There’s no wizardry so controls are straight forward and it’s built to 1:1(give or take a few inches). I’d love to plough more time into this build but cars are not my bag. That and I have multiple projects on the go I’m trying to complete - this sounded a nice challenge and I’d thought I’d doff my cap to a racing legend.

    There’s a lot of emotion when the word ‘Imola’ pops up for that season. “If you don’t take an opportunity in a race, well you’re no longer a racing driver” very true. I like how he raised the profile of Brazil and was quite charitable alongside his personal jet etc. :) @theeunknown

    It’s a little rustic but I agree, he was a hero! I take it you’ve watched ‘Senna’? @theeunknown
