[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Sauber C31 S.Perez 1st Podium

Hi Guys

Today I am reviewing a very special car. With the Mexican GP back on the calendar and with Sergio Perez already scoring a Podium in the 2015 season. I thought I would review a car that has been on my wish list. I have been fortunate to be able to get my hands on one as well. This review is the Sauber C31 and it is the exact model of the car Perez scored his first Podium in Malaysia in 2012.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Red Bull RB9 Bahrain Winner 2013 (S.Vettel)

Hi Guys,

Today I have a brand new Minichamps model. Which has been kindly donated to me by Mcslots. It's the Infiniti Red Bull RB9 driven by Sebastian Vettel. It is the car that he won the 2013 Bahrain GP. It's great to see that Minichamps produce cars from specific races because it gives fans options in which cars to get. Minichamps tend to make cars that have performed well at races if they don't intend to produce limited version.

[DIECAST] Formula 1 Cars I would like to add to my collection and why.

Hi Guys,

This little article is about certain F1 cars I would like to add to my collection and why.

Spyker Ferrari 2007 Adrian Sutil.


No prizes given if you guess why this car is on this list. It's driven by Adrian Sutil, one of my favourite F1 drivers but this is the car he drove in his debut season. He also scored his first world championship point in Fuji, Japan. This car is also the predecessor to Force India VJM01. 

This car is recreated in 1/43 scale by minichamps. Product code: 400070020.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Sahara Force India VJM05 (N.Hulkenberg)

Hi Guys,

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but we have another Force India Diecast review. So far we have reviewed the VJM01 VJM02 VJM03 and VJM04. But today I am reviewing one of my most important models I own. It is Nico Hulkenberg's VJM05. The reason it's so important to me is because it was my first diecast model. Bought for me by my wife. (She was my Girlfriend at the time). 

Same as all the other Force India's it's 1/43 scale diecast by Minichamps.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Force India VJM03 (A.Sutil)

Hi guys.

Today we have another diecast review and again it's another Force India. (They're the only diecast I have access to at the moment and plus I love writing about Force India and it will bulk up the Blog quite quickly). Anyway...

This is the 2010 challenger, the VJM03. It features a very unique vibrant colour scheme, very similar to the VJM02 which has already been reviewed. This model is driven by my favourite ex-Force India driver Adrian Sutil and is recreated in 1:43 scale by Minichamps.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Force India VJM02 (G.Fisichella)

Hi Guys.

I'm continuing my written review blog and keeping the theme I am going to be reviewing on of my personal favourite F1 cars of all time, and that is the 2009 Force India VJM02.

This car, like it's predecessor, had some unique features and is essentially the foundation car that has made the team what it is today. We will look at how the car and the team experienced many firsts in the 2009 season.

This particular model is driven by the Italian drive Giancarlo Fisichella. This model like the VJM01 previously reviewed is 1/43 scale and made by Minichamps.
