RC Ferrari 312 F1 1968

1/8th replica of Jackie Ickx' Ferrari 312, winner of the French GP 1968 in Rouen. In 1968, Formula 1 saw the first wings for aerodynamic downforce being mounted on the cars. Ferrari had a small wing being mounted above the engine, which could be manually adjusted by the driver from the cockpit. Less downforce on the straights, high downforce in corners. Basically the same principle introduced 50 years later with the DRS.
