Matra Simca F1 MS1200 #9 1970 Monaco GP Henri Pescarolo in 1:18 scale
At the 1970 Monaco Grand Prix, French driver Henri Pescarolo piloted the striking Matra-Simca MS120 #9 through the narrow, unforgiving streets of Monte Carlo. Known for its high-revving V12 engine and distinctively shrill exhaust note, the MS120 was one of the most sonically memorable cars of its era. Pescarolo, already a respected endurance racer, brought his aggressive driving style to F1’s most glamorous venue but was forced to retire after just 22 laps due to suspension failure. What set this race apart was the fierce competition and the debut of several future F1 stars, including Jacky Ickx and Emerson Fittipaldi, alongside the dominance of Jochen Rindt, who took a dramatic last-lap victory. Pescarolo’s effort, though cut short, added to the mystique of Monaco—a race where mechanical attrition and precision driving often defined the outcome.
