Lotus 101 1989 Brazilian GP Driver: N. Piquet in 1:18 scale
This is the Lotus 101 1989 Brazilian GP Driver: N. Piquet in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
In the 1989 Brazilian Grand Prix, Nelson Piquet, a native Brazilian and three-time world champion, took on his home race at Jacarepaguá driving the Lotus 101 with its Judd V8 engine. The 101 was disadvantaged by its lower power compared to other teams, especially in the debut season after Formula 1's ban on turbocharged engines, which leveled the playing field for some teams while challenging others like Lotus. Piquet’s experience and skill were critical in handling the car’s limitations, and he drove with precision and tenacity, earning the support of the passionate Brazilian fans. The 1989 season was a pivotal one, with new regulations and high-profile rivalries reshaping the competition, placing even greater emphasis on driver ability and car handling.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
