McLaren F1 MCL38 #81 AU 2024

McLaren’s first podium of the 2024 season came at the Australian Grand
Prix. It also happened to be the first podium for the team at that track in
10 years. But another first regarding McLaren is the AFX 2024 MCL38 joining
the ever-growing fleet of AFX Formula 1 cars.

The 2024 season ended in victory for McLaren with their first Constructors’
Championship victory since 1998. The impressive MCL38, designed by former
Red Bull engineer Rob Marshall, captured a total of 21 podiums and 6 Grand
Prix wins.

Oscar Piastri took the helm of the #81 car and his race-winning potential
was made crystal clear with his first Grand Prix victory at the Hungarian
Grand Prix. Piastri first saw racing success in the karting scene as an
Australian native. But, like those before him including Mark Webber and
Daniel Ricciardo, his love of racing took him to Europe to capture the
hearts and minds of the sport’s top agents. And Piastri did just that at
merely 15 years of age when he took two podiums on his first attempts at
single seat competitions. He soon soared through the racing ranks and in
2023 teamed up with McLaren. Now, after a stellar two years in Formula 1,
Piastri has proven he’s no flash in the pan.

The AFX McLaren MCL38 represents – to one degree or another, virtually all
the bells and whistles the F1 team used to achieve their many victories.
That means the body was painstakingly designed over months to achieve
ultimate realism in both dimension and cosmetic design. With F1 it’s all
about aerodynamics, which is why AFX implemented the many small but pivotal
adjustments made specifically by the championship team. Some of those
changes included a reworked sidepod with a newly exposed upper side impact
bar. Another was a relocated radiator area that moved to the centerline
near the cooling louvres for maximum downforce. The most important
adjustment was the front suspension, getting the rearward upper wishbone
mounted lower on the nose cone.

All these details and more result in yet another stunning addition to an
already sizable collection of modern day AFX Formula 1 race cars. Get yours
