Haha I will

With regards to the new cars this year they look appauling and nothing that can grow on you the moore you see them

As far as I'm concerned last years cars peaked on the best looking shape of f1

I did not like the cars last year as they looked to busy in the designs with all the add on winglets and stuff.

Introducing the all-new Formula Ten!


We are extremely proud to debut a fantastic new kit designed to replicate the thrills and excitement of the fastest car racing series in the world: the Formula Ten! Since the release of the original Super F1, HPI's first-ever car kit, we've been waiting for the ideal opportunity to release an all-new chassis designed around the most exciting and glamourous racing cars the world has ever seen! With the full-size cars piloted by determined racers, managed by flamboyant team principals and driven around glamourous tracks in exotic locales, we couldn't think of a better type of car kit to challenge our chassis and body designers!

A lot of the 1/12ths use a 4 cell pack. Limits the speed.

Yeah but a direct drive gearbox like that, with a mod motor and 7.2v battery would positively get airborne.
