At this stage of the GP game the cars were getting fast enough that weight control was becoming an issue.... As they cornered the weight of the front end would be thrown outside causing the inner front wheel to lift off the track... Stiffer springs were meant to keep that wheel from lifting thereby preventing an oversteer situation from the outside tire being forced into the pavement... Another thing Bugatti did was design the tubular front axel around the springs, (passing the springs thru the axel) thereby virtually eliminating axel twist as a cause of understeer.... The engineering of these GP cars was getting complex about this time.... and front wheel drive was just around the corner....

shipman Posted October 9, 2023 Share #108 Posted October 9, 2023 Just took delivery of the 'Haynes Bugatti Type 35 (1924 onwards - all models) Owners Workshop Manual'. Packed with history, photographs and detail drawings, it features a 'highly original 1926 Type 35'. Can't wait to sit down to read it and draw at least some parallels with this build....which is rather splendid.

CDW Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share #115 Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Right out of the box, the chrome plated wheels, finished in a semi gloss, look pretty good. I'll be weathering mine before it's all said and done. The tires have a slight mold separation line that needs attention but otherwise look very good. Tire size in raised detail on the tires but no maker detail. Would they have been Pirelli's in this era, or something else?

(but my brain is on an Indy kick right now) Speaking of Indy, I have the Watson Offy powered car from ‘63 and the Lotus car from ‘64 both in 1:25 scale. Would love to have the Watson car in 1:12 but there is no such animal I know of. edit: my cars may be ‘62 and ‘63, can’t remember for sure Edited October 10, 2023 by CDW Ryland Craze, Jack12477, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.
