I just found an pic of an F1-car:
It is in an article about the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix Club (http://www.asiatraveltips.com/news06/22 ... Prix.shtml). Does anybody saw pictures of this car of another angle? I want to know how the car looks like and if it's a nice for GP2...

Re: Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix Club
It looks to be an Arrows from either '98 or '99.

I would say it's this one:
A Arrows A19 from 1998. But it also can be a A18 from 1997, or a A20 from 1999. They don't differ that much.
Only the Bahrain Gulf picture shows an Arrows with grooved tyres, so it's not 1997, and it has 3 grooves in the front tyre, which they only had in 1998!. So, it's an Arrows Yamaha from 1998.

Re: Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix Club
The car has no barge boards, what also points to the fact that is must be the 1998 model. The A19 was powered by a Hart-constructed engine btw. There were rumours that Volvo had interest to re-badge this engine, but they never came true. So in the end the engine was called Arrows.
In some cases Minichamps produces "Event Cars" of some Grand Prix. There are some of the Indianapolis GP and from the Canadian GP, but it seems they have none from Bahrain. I searched for pics, but didn't found it. So I don't know where to find other pics. But you can find a lot of pics of the plane behind the car. I guess the car's liverey will look similar!

Sorry, the 1997 arrows had a Yamaha, from 1998 it was a Hart indeed...V12-Power wrote:The car has no barge boards, what also points to the fact that is must be the 1998 model. The A19 was powered by a Hart-constructed engine btw.

Re: Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix Club
Sorry for the revival, but was looking at some liveries for GPRL. I think this car may appear in a modified for in GPRL indeed. Very nice find.
But look.... BOTH DIFFERENT SHAPES!!!
Here are some different angles:

Re: Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix Club
Your first picture is a Jordan EJ-10, the second is the Arrows A19 as mentioned before.
One can clearly differ it from the A20, because it doesn't feature the flip ups in front of the rearwheels.

WOW! A record, almost a year no post on this topic!
Maybe this is how the Honda team will look, if the Arabian people buy it!

Simple, but reminds a bit of the 1996 Jordan with the gold color...
1996 .. 2017 .. 21 years and counting ..
