Subaru's woeful attempt at breaking into F1

They also build rubbish F1 engines!

Here it is with its proud dad.

600HP flat 12.

And the car it was shoe-horned into - A Coloni 1990 F1 entry.

A glorious career in F1 - 8 attempts to qualify.

8 Failures to qualify

out of 8 races.

Wheres the thread delete button :rolleyes:

Because the first few replies appear to deliberately miss-interpret my (admittedly) poor attempt at irony.

It was an attempt at irony due to Subaru appearing to have fallen out of favour of late.

I had no idea until yesterday that Subaru had made an attempt at an F1 engine. And to be fair and to make my thread even worse, Subaru didn't actually build it. Some obscure sounding itallian firm built it and when Fuji Heavy Industries bought the Coloni F1 team they badged the engine as Subaru.

Being a Subaru fanboy I'm now hunting for the 1/24 Tamiya model of the car.

If you have time to save the thread I'd be grateful.
