One technological advancement after another is featured all the way until the demise of the original series in 1974, which was partially due to the technology itself. When Can-Am returned in the late 1970s, it was more of a rules-driven feeder series for other forms of racing.

Monza 2026: 1/18 & 1/43 BBR Schumacher Tribute

1/18 diecast metal from BBR

Available in Luxury or Polyfoam Packaging.

Ordering Details HERE

At the Monza GP 2026 the Scuderia Ferrari will pay homage to the Ferrari F310, the renowned car driven by Michael Schumacher in 1996. 

30 years after his first Ferrari victory in Italy, the Scuderia’a SF26 entries at Monza will be decorated with the iconic seven stars on the nose, one for each World Championship won by the German driver and an unmistakable reference to his helmet.

The cars are painted the same “red” as the F310, brighter than the Rosso SF26, adopted by Ferrari that season for better visibility on television. 

The font of the race numbers are tributes to the Schumacher era, which is also recalled in the logo of his personal merch visible on the engine cover.

Includes Driver Figure in Cockpit

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will also sport special-edition retro suits matching the classic 1996 livery. 

September 4, 2026: This morning, BBR announced 1/43 scale versions of the Michael Schumacher Tribute Ferraris competing in this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza. They will be available with or without a driver figure. Details HERE!
