This has been removed from eBay – no explanations or details, just that the item has been removed.

I wonder what happened to it? If there’s any updates, you’ll keep us updated, won’t you?

I don’t think that’s correct – I remember reading a Williams team member cleaned up Villeneuve’s car afterwards and Frank Williams (or maybe Patrick Head) was annoyed because it would have been worth more with the damage still visible.

As well as Schumacher being banned for a few races, wasn’t another reason the he only ended up winning the Championship by a single point, was that Williams introduced a B-spec version of the FW16 because of problems with the original version.

Obviously I would figure the Sultain of Brunei will be in on the bidding- I believe he owns one car from each WDC since 1980 or something like that. From reports I have read you can still see the red paint on JV’s Williams in his private museum at the palace over there.

That ING-based Renault scheme this year was terrible…among the worst I have seen, even worse than the bad NASCAR schemes.

But this car has a nice look to it, hopefully we’ll see more green (in various shades) back soon.

Illegal traction control and launch control too?
Ironic, isn’t it, that Flavio ran this team too?

Amazingly Schumacher won 6 of the first 7 races and then only won the championship by a single point (he actually would have lost it if he played fair) to Damon Hill.

Of course der schumi was banned for a few races after ignoring a blag flag, but still.

Yes:

“The car is in condition as in the 1994 Formula One season with paddle shift and traction control.”

The ebay listing says:
“The car is in condition as in the 1994 Formula One season with paddle shift and traction control.”

So yeah, it comes with the traction control. Which of course was never used … that’s why it was under the blank menu item

Does it come with the illegal traction control fitted as used by Benneton in 1994?

I’ve asked my lovely friend Kirstie to set up a Meerkat foundation to appeal for money for me, last time we raised £50,000 towards the red bull on auction. Unfortunately that money didn’t materialise.
