The 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix at Estoril was the day Ayrton Senna announced himself as a winner. In only his second season of Formula 1 and his second race for Lotus, he took the first pole position of his career with a lap of 1:21.007, then led every lap of a race run in torrential rain. The conditions were so severe that the race was stopped at the two-hour limit after 67 of the scheduled 70 laps.
Senna’s command of the wet was total: he set the fastest lap, a 1:44.121, and crossed the line 1 minute 2.978 seconds ahead of Michele Alboreto’s Ferrari, with Patrick Tambay’s Renault a lap down in third and every other finisher lapped at least once. It was the first of his 41 Grand Prix victories. The black-and-gold Lotus 97T, designed under technical director Gérard Ducarouge, combined a carbon-fibre monocoque with Renault’s twin-turbocharged 1.5-litre V6 and pioneered early bargeboards between the front wheels and sidepods; it won three Grands Prix and took eight pole positions in 1985.
Premium Collectibles reproduces Senna’s Estoril-winning car in 1:24 scale, approximately 18cm long, in the iconic John Player Special livery. The model is presented on a display base in blister packaging and comes with sponsor decals.

Understanding Scale
The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
