Williams FW14B Renault Model Car Kit 1:12th Scale

Product Description

Tamiya 1:12th scale Williams FW14B Renault Model Car Kit (12029) The FW14B type car using a semi-automatic transmission for the 1991 season, driven by Nigel Mansell, who joined the team & concentrated on improving the performance of the car by incorporating the raised-nose layout for better aerodynamics. The 1992 version type FW14B racer was, without a doubt, the racing machine of the year. In addition to its very reliable semi-automatic six-speed transmission, the FW14B incorporated an innovative active suspension system. This highly sophisticated system used a ride height control which enabled the car to maintain stability during hard braking & high speed cornering, minimizing massive weight transfers that can affect the performance of the car. The carbon composite monocoque section of the FW14B was cleverly designed to eliminate the use of a separately removeable forward body shell. Renaults progress with their 3.5 liter RS3 series V-10 engine was also a major factor in making the car a winner. The latest type RS3C powerplant was prepared in conjunction with Elf fuel technology for the 1992 season, & showed its sensational performance by outrunning the competition. The dominance of the FW 14B racing machine, in combination with the driving prowess of Nigel Mansell & Riccardo Patrese enabled the Willams team to clinch both the drivers & constructors titles for the 1992 Grand Prix season.
