Description I always wanted to see Mirage and Dragstrip updated to today's F1 cars.

The G1 designs we know are extremely dated, and I reckon should be modernised to pay tribute to one of the most important and fastest motor sport in history.

Mirage is a Ligier JS11 (1980), hence the Japanese name, "Ligier".
Dragstrip is a Tyrrell P34 (1976-1977). Six wheeler F1 car configuration was banned in 1983 by F1 regulations.

(F1 buffs ,correct any of this data if I made some mistakes.)

The Classics toy update is awesome but not an actual F1 car.

Here's my update:
Mirage = Modified Williams Cosworth FW32 (2010)
Dragstip = Modified Renault R30 (2010)

TM & © HASBRO/ TAKARA TOMY


The car on the far right = Fracture (?)

It looks great. But it can't be Fracture, because Fracture is a girl-bot.

These guys look great! I really like your inking style, and the way you rendered the background is refreshing; not too cluttered but still demonstrates what's going on. I also love the expressions, and their skinny legs give them a nice athletic look X) Awesome work!

Mirage definitely looks happier than Dragstrip in giving interviews. Or, Dragstrip's pissed that he's hogging the limelight.

I decided to give Mirage a break. He keeps getting this "Autobot traitor" thing.

Hey, did I noticed a "Phillips" brand referenced there? No wonder I usually see that brand on those racing cars though. XD Gotta love the feeling of your piece too, I always kinda interestingly imagine if it were the Bots and the Cons get together and do enjoyable stuff on Earth (like as depicted on your piece in here). But uh, that's just me saying that lol. x'D

Philips is Team William's major sponsor but I read that they're leaving Williams next year.

I like the position of the viewing point (the angle) and the composition.
I don't care about F1 - so which teams are this?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

neurowing In reply to Clu-art [2011-01-02 15:27:43 +0000 UTC]

Mirage = Williams , well in this world it's "Milliams" The logo (in his forearm) has the "W" inverted.

Dragstrip = Renault or "Rezault"

I chose the team which matches the bots' colours. Williams Team colours matches Mirage's blue and white. Renault's yellow with black stripes is my choice for Dragstrip. The stripes adds something new to the design, it also kinda turns Dragstrip's paintjob into a Renault's driver jumpsuit of some sort.

Well we could always write a fiction about that. There should be a purpose why of all cars, they had to be F1s.
