********************
I am so grateful to be able to attend my first ever Formula 1 race in Barcelona, Spain. Of course I had to build and bring a scaled-down F1 radio control car!! In this video, I walk through the steps to turn a box of Tamiya F104 parts into a 1:10 scale SF-24 Ferrari modeled after driver Carlos Sainz' 2024 car. This build took pretty much all the skills I've acquired in the RC hobby over the years - building, painting, soldering, 3D printing and more. I finished it just in time to trek it 5,500 miles to the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit for the June 2024 F1 race in Spain!
