The McLeod-Cosworth 4RM could be something like ...

but if I can not use the Sigma (post Monaco 69) , how Wookey says, Garcia will remain without the "golden wings"

Thanks. It is perfection.

Luigi, about the Sigma, it was not meant to be fast and comply with the rules, but to be safe and fix new rules. It was a demonstration of what should be a safe racing car, and I don't think it mixes well with real F1 of its time. The BRM P142 in the other hand was meant to be fast and meant to comply with the rules. Even if it seems weird in the middle of other cars, I can do with it.

If you dont want to build you a special car, you can perfectly use Lotus 63, on a deal similar to what you did for 1968, that would make perfect sense to stay another year as a sort of Lotus "B" Team. Or keep the BRM for yourself, and let Miguel with Ramon in a golden Lotus 63.

For the Eagle, yes, it is exactly what you understand.

mmmhhhh...
at this point I keep the Scuderia Centro Sud P142 model...
and I propose to my friend Garcia this other "gold car"...

Thanks for the offer Luigi, but I would prefer to keep a solid DFV powered car.
To tell you all, I love to play my own story with my cars, and I dont like to drive the turbines. I'm addicted to gear changes

could you transform this beautiful one you did  :


by fitting it my DFV and 1969 style nose fins & wings ? The story would be very easy to find, as a Mexican buying last year's Indy chassis is a no brain.

or maybe inwith the sidepods, but still with F1 style aero

1969 Brawner hawk

ok Garcia, I would opt for the first, because the second is used in the same 1969 season USAC.
Furthermore this is the final "McLeod-Cosworth 4RM":

There is something different in the front, so when Trevor Taylor will take part in the British GP will have a bit different car.

Beautiful !

Nice design once more Luigi.

As your friend, I confirm you that the choice is yours. As the main author of the story, I give you the following information.

1) it could be perfectly easy for me to let you race one more year with a Lotus B Team, using the Lotus 63 already in the 1969 folder, just veh and liveries to do. But this is not very funny.

2) You could do The F1 Brawner for Miguel Garcia and keep the 142 for yourself. Both those stories are easy to include in the main frame.

3) You can let the 142 to Miguel and buid yourself your own car. It could be based upon the Alfa Romeo  V8 already present in TNT 1970 McLaren M14D. This engine was already available in 1968 and 69 and perfectly letigimate for Scuderia Centro Sud, with links to the Alfasud works.
For the chassis you can build your own, or recycle the Brawner as a mere coincidence.
I see no problem to use the 1969 design as Indianapolis is early in the season and the plans are available when you start with it at Monaco. And the sidepods make it a unique and striking car, even if some minor modifications to make it look like a F1 are to be done. Mario Andretti could provide the link with Italy.

4) any other solution, I will find a way to manage.

That's only authors suggestions, the designer competency is yours.
