This is the McLaren F1 M23 #5 1974 World Champion Winner Brazilian GP in 1:18 scale by GP Replicas.

Emerson Fittipaldi, driving the McLaren M23 Ford Texaco #5, secured victory at the 1974 Brazilian Grand Prix, setting the stage for his first World Championship with McLaren later that season. Fittipaldi, already an F1 champion, demonstrated exceptional skill and consistency throughout the 1974 season. The McLaren M23, powered by the reliable Ford-Cosworth DFV engine, was a well-balanced and competitive car, which Fittipaldi utilized to great effect. What made the 1974 season unique was the intense competition between several top drivers, with the championship battle going down to the final race. Fittipaldi's win at his home race in Brazil was a pivotal moment, boosting his title campaign and making him the first driver to win championships with two different teams, solidifying McLaren as a dominant force in F1.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
