The championship that made history
In 2000, twenty-one years after Jody Scheckter’s title, Ferrari reclaimed the Drivers’ World Championship.
Michael Schumacher secured the Drivers’ title at Suzuka in the Japanese Grand Prix. Ferrari finished the season with ten race victories and the Constructors’ Championship. It was more than a successful year: it marked the beginning of a new era at Maranello.
Ferrari won the opening three races and the final four races of the season — a remarkable start and finish.
The heart of the F1-2000: the V10
The three-litre Ferrari 049 engine is one of the car’s defining technical features.
The ten-cylinder engine, combined with a chassis developed for aerodynamic efficiency, helped make the F1-2000 successful. On a 1:8 scale replica, the engine bay and surrounding surfaces offer a fascinating opportunity to study shapes, connections and finishes.
From the real car to the model: before adding detail, compare its position and finish with photographs of the original race car.
Cockpit: detail and safety
Small components make a major difference to the realism of a replica.
In Formula 1 at the time, the removable seat was an important part of driver safety. The EG-FIM cockpit kit reproduces the seat lifting straps as well as padding, coverings, aluminium protection and dedicated decals.
Before attaching adhesive cockpit components, check the alignment without removing their backing. Some parts, such as the kit’s aluminium protection, cannot be repositioned without risking damage.
