2000 F1/2000 Race Car

Of course, there is no experience like driving an F1 car: The sound, the incredible horsepower, the ridiculous braking ability, and the sheer competence of the chassis combine into sensory overload of the best sort

When Jody Scheckter won the Formula 1 drivers’ championship in 1979, few enthusiasts, and even fewer among the management at Fiat and Ferrari itself, could have suspected that it would be 21 long years before another driver would attain that elusive crown behind the wheel of a Formula 1 Ferrari.

That driver was the now-legendary, six-times World Champion, Michael Schumacher. This is the car, chassis 205, in which he ultimately clinched that historic breakthrough.

Rory Byrne and Ross Brawn designed and engineered the F1/2000 around an extremely advanced, molded carbon-composite monocoque chassis, powered by a 3-liter, 90-degree V10 engine developing in excess of 750 horsepower. Transmission is via a seven-speed, semi-automatic gearbox with sequential electronic fingertip “flipper” control.

Chassis 205, as offered here, has a total recorded works team mileage of 3,896 km, and has been run for a total of 18 hours, 30 minutes.
