Oh how we want to hate ‘F1: The Movie’. From its stupid name, to its cliched plot (old guy comes out of retirement for one last shot at glory), to the fact it is basically one giant advert for F1…
Except, it seems like it might – annoying – be rather good.
Currently with an 83% Rotten Tomatoes score, ‘F1: The Movie’ used real cars (modified F2 machines) and real tracks to create a film that takes the audience as close to being in the car as possible, even if the main protagonist being sixty years old is pushing the believability to breaking point.
Cue this fantastic recreation of the fictional team at the heart of the story, ‘APX GP’, as created beautifully in brick form by NV Carmocs of Flickr. A stunning livery perfectly captures the ‘real’ car, and you can head to the cinema, um… race track via the link above, where nearly a dozen images are available to view. Even if you’re sixty.
