Additional details for the
McLaren Ford MP4/1B car scale model kit:
The McLaren MP4/1 was a revolutionary car that, without a doubt, changed the course of F1, being the first to use a carbon fibre composite chassis in Formula One.
At the end of the seventies the situation McLaren's economy was not very buoyant, so the team merged with Project Four (where the "P4" in the MP4 name comes from) where a talented engineer named John Barnard was active.
Barnard was responsible for the design of the new car, for which he wanted a narrow chassis to maximize the area available for the ground effect generated by the sidepods. To achieve this without the structural rigidity being affected by the reduction of material, he needed a new material, and that is why he turned to carbon fibre, visiting the British Aerospace facilities to understand how said material was worked. Each of the layers that make up the fibre had to be precisely calculated, and Barnard went so far as to say that working with carbon fibre was "more like tailoring than building a car".
