F1

I have been a racing fan ever since I was small. My heroes were Mario Andretti (when he drove for Lotus) and Niki Lauda. Its ironic because up to now, I dont have any of their cars in 1/43. I love watching Formula One. Call it boring, but for me, I think that is the pinnacle of motorsport.
Nothing compares to F1 racing.

I admit, yes, the car sometimes seem identical to each other except for some minor changes, but thats how formula one nowadays are. Gone are the days where the cars look entirely different from each other. During the 70's, A Tyrrell P34 could never look like a Wolf Wr1. Why? Because the P34 has six wheels :)
This is why I look forward to getting classic F1 cars rather than newer ones.

I love collecting cars of my heroes, like Michael Schumacher's Benetton B192 (which he won his first grand prix), Fernando Alonso's Renault R25, which was the championship winning car of 2005, Ayrton Senna's 1988 Mclaren MP4/4 (which he bagged his first drivers championship) The list goes on and on.
I still have a lot of cars that I need to complete my collection.

Formula one is what got me to start collecting diecast cars. I started collecting because I want to have an exact replica of the car and the driver who drove it. Minichamps can replicate the drivers helmet and the car very well in such a small scale! :)

Aside from Formula One diecasts, I also collect formula one magazines. From 2001 till the present day. I also have a few formula one books and a F1 encyclopedia which has pictures of every car that raced from the 50's till 2002.
One might not be able to understand why I love the series so much, unless they had a chance to watch a race or understand it even :)
I might grow tired of other things, but one things for sure, I will never grow tired of watching Formula one. :)
