About the McLaren MP4/8:
After McLaren had lost the championship to Williams at the end of the 1992 season, McLaren welcomed the 1993 season with a Ford HB engine and other high-tech systems, as well as the CART champion Michael Andretti. The MP4 / 8 was in principle an MP4 / 7 with changes to improve the aerodynamics, such as a high nose and bargeboards. Senna was able to win the second, third and sixth rounds. Unlike Williams, Benetton proved to be a strong threat to the team. Despite all the negative factors, Senna was able to win 5 races at the end thanks to his driving technique and the strong aerodynamic abilities of the car. Senna thus achieved second place in the drivers' world championship.
This kit will be reissued in limited numbers in March 2023. Please place your order early, as new editions from Hiro are always sold out quite quickly.
