It gets more interesting when you add passenger capacity and cargo space details - the F1 loses by a little on the latter, but not by much. Then you factor the F1 has nearly twice the power and...

As do I and it was one of the few things that I've wanted but didn't yet have in my collection. After seeing in on the wall in Jay's Garage last night I went home and ordered the Limited Edition print from Alex Reade Motorsport in the UK.

The original painting was done by famous motorsports artist, Nicholas Watts, and the prints are numbered out of 500 total and hand signed by the three drivers who won Le Mans in GTR #01R back in 1995.

For what it is, what it depicts and the fact that it is signed by the drivers - at a price of £110 I consider it a very good buy.
