GMA T.50 and T.33 - will reviewers get to drive it?
Discussion
I decided to go Red as per the F1, but wanted a more modern colour that worked with the (plethora) of Matt Carbon Fibre - so I went with a deep metallic red (similar to Mclaren’s volcano red) that is named Gordon Murray Tarten (All the T50’s will have unique colours).
I actually went for chassis 56 (2x028 - which is the F1 chassis number) and a number that is important to me from my childhood.
It’s a really startling thing - much rawer than the F1 and very noisy (in a good way), much more of a fun car for a thrash vs the F1 which is essentially a fabulous GT car that has a crazy edge when you push it. T50 is much less of a handful, modern tyres, massive carbon brakes plus traction, ABS and brake servos all make a big difference as does the lower position of the engine in the chassis.
The fan also spools up under heavy braking and pulls the rear to the grown which avoids some of the lightness that is noteable in the rear of the F1 under the same load.

Can you tell us more about the skills required compared to F1. Do you need any skills at all?I actually went for chassis 56 (2x028 - which is the F1 chassis number) and a number that is important to me from my childhood.
