This is the Renault F1 RS10 #16 1979 British GP in 1:18 scale by MCG.
The Renault RS10, car #16 driven by René Arnoux for Team Renault Elf, competed in the 1979 British Grand Prix at Silverstone during a pivotal season for turbocharged technology in Formula One. Arnoux, a rising French talent known for his aggressive style and technical feedback, played a crucial development role alongside teammate Jean-Pierre Jabouille. While the British GP didn't yield a podium for Arnoux, it was significant as Renault’s turbocharged RS10s continued to challenge the status quo dominated by naturally aspirated engines. This race stood out for showcasing the growing competitiveness of the turbo cars, especially in high-speed sectors like Silverstone’s famous corners, further validating Renault’s bold engineering direction in the face of skepticism from traditional teams.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
