Shell Canada had F1 cars in the Shell building many times downtown. Nothing all that new?

[rage2]

Autoblog has it wrong. That's not an RB8. It's an RB6 with the launch aero, and the wrong tires on it (F1 ran Bridgestones in 2010) with updated liveries. Infiniti wasn't added as a brand until last year.

I believe that one was at least a decade older than RB6.

Interesting but Infiniti's line up of cars is quite long on the tooth.

Red Bull uses Renault engines, and is their works team. Renault owns Nissan and Infiniti.

Whens the last time any of u stood 2 feet from a former F1 car? For most of you, ya i thought not. Dont knock it until your standing 2 feet away.

Wow thats sweet im gonna go check that out for sure!

F1 cars are a marvel of engineering

[rage2]

F1 display cars are kinda bare. It's basically a bare shell on a chassis, no mechanicals. Seeing a ready to run F1 car at a race weekend, that's a totally different story.

If you've never seen one before up close, it's cool to see.

This....

But also, to the layman seeing the display shell, versus a car on race weekend most would be hard pressed to tell a difference haha....

Was anyone allowed to sit in it (doubtful)?

You wouldn't fit unless you were 12 haha.

It's not roped off so you can touch it.
