Formula Cars in AMS

[seamount0]

Hi, IIRC each of the original AMS Formula car is more or less a "copy" of one of the original Formula 1 cars of their year/season (the F-Retro should be from Brabham 1975).
So may anyone tell me, for each of the AMS Formula cars, from which F1 year/season is it (and which team it was) ?
I mean for F-Classic, F-V12, F-V10, F-Reiza, etc

As far as I know, the following:

1967 Lotus 49 = 'Formula Vintage V8'
1969 Brabham BT26 = 'Formula Vintage V8'

1975 Brabham BT44 = 'Formula Retro'
1976 Copersucar Fittipaldi FD04 = 'Formula Retro'

1988 Benetton B188 Ford = 'Formula Classic'

1995 Ferrari 412 T2 = 'Formula V12'

2002 Williams FW24 = 'Formula V10'

2008 Mygale SJ08 = 'Formula Trainer Novice/Advanced'

2012 Red Bull RB8 Renault = 'Formula Reiza'

And Formula Extreme is 2014-16 era and Formula Ultimate 2017-19.

Something like this for the models in AMS 2 would be very nice.

I thought the F-Classic was the '88 McLaren?

1988 Benetton B188 Ford = 'Formula Classic'

To me it's more of a MP4/4.

Could be, yes.

My list isn’t by any means definitive. It’s my interpretation of which cars Reiza may have used for inspiration.

 

[PLAYLIFE]

Formula Classic is definitely based on the MP4/4 with its turbo Honda.

The Benetton B188 had a normally aspirated Ford DFR V8.

 

[Dethrone1427]

Yeah it's 100% the McLaren.

The biggest nation-wide TV broadcaster here in Brazil just replayed Senna's first victory in Brazil, in 1991 (it was their recording oginally). It looks just like the AMS car, wings and everything.

So I'm a dummy, I focused on the MP4/4 but didn't think to look just a bit further lol
Reiza did the MP4/6 because it was Senna's first victory in Brazil.

Thread revival...but you were right the first time: The Formula Classic is the McLaren MP4/4, not the MP4/6. All the McLaren cars after 1988 used Naturally aspirated engines, not turbos, so that's the big red flag. Plus I re-watched the 1991 Brazilian GP footage just for posterity and the MP4/6 dash looks nothing like the MP4/4. The 4's black on grey LCD tachometer plus the rest of the dash layout is unmistakable, none of the McLarens that followed had a layout like that. AMS1 came out before Reiza had big money behind them, so they modelled that one pretty close to the original. Can't wait until they release the official cars in AMS2!
