This Footwork–Arrows car had a disastrious 1991 season. Firstly it couldn’t fit its engine, the Porsche 3512 3.5 V12, but even when it did it was heavy, slow, and unreliable. By mid-season the team redesigned the chassis to fit a Hart-prepared Cosworth-Ford DFR V8 engine, but that only led to a season high 10th-place finish in the Japanese Grand Prix.
First seen in sim racing with F1GP (1992).

The 2009 Brawn GP BGP-001 was primarily designed by the outgoing Honda F1 team who had decided to leave the sport following the previous season. The new Brawn GP team had the task of redesigning the chassis to fit the Mercedes-Benz FO108W V8 engine and did so with much success; The car dominated the early part of the season, winning eight races from the 17 that year.
Jenson Button took his only world championship with this car, Brawn GP remains the only manufacturer to win the title during its only year of competition, and the Brackley-based team went onto become the factory Mercedes-Benz F1 team for 2010.
