idea

From the terrace upsteirs Monza's boxes I had a beautyfull sight over cars and drivers.
This is a Ferrari 512S (march 1970), driver is Arturo Merzario and the man from the back is Mauro Forghieri.
Beautyfull car all red, driver all white...






Here is september 1969, at the eve of the Italian Gran Prix and this is the yellow Mc Laren of Mr. Dennis Hulme.
I was supposed to have more pics froem the same sights with the car undressed... but! may be same where in same place.






anyway you can see that the car is made by three parts: the central part with the driving sit, the front part and the rear part with the engine.
The front and the rear parts where holded by "personal" frames so that it was possible to change the whole part (front or rear) in a short time... may be 2 - 3 hours.
Here where my idea is caming.





This is the first sketch I made. It's from 1973 and I was 23.
In This first thought front and rear modules where inserted in the central one but later I changed idea separating them definitly to have a more free final figure of the car.












The central module has two flanges with all the possible combinations to make mechanicals, electrical, hidraulical... joins from and to the front and the rear modules.

Front and rear modules have their own flanges...
