McLaren’s first podium of the 2024 season came at the Australian Grand Prix. It also happened to be the first podium for the team at that track in 10 years. But another first regarding McLaren is the AFX 2024 MCL38 joining the ever-growing fleet of AFX Formula 1 cars.
The 2024 season ended in victory for McLaren with their first Constructors’ Championship victory since 1998. The impressive MCL38, designed by former Red Bull engineer Rob Marshall, captured a total of 21 podiums and 6 Grand Prix wins.
Lando Norris, the team’s lead driver, piloted the #4 car. Born in Bristol to a Belgian mother and English father, Norris began competitive kart racing in Glastonbury at barely seven years of age. Now, with several F1 seasons under his belt, he spent 2024 securing multiple podiums and Grand Prix wins. The seasoned driver’s consistency and prowess is officially undeniable.
The AFX McLaren MCL38 represents – to one degree or another, virtually all the bells and whistles the F1 team used to achieve their many victories. That means the body was painstakingly designed over months to achieve ultimate realism in both dimension and cosmetic design. With F1 it’s all about aerodynamics, which is why AFX implemented the many small but pivotal adjustments made specifically by the championship team. Some of those changes included a reworked sidepod with a newly exposed upper side impact bar. Another was a relocated radiator area that moved to the centerline near the cooling louvres for maximum downforce. The most important adjustment was the front suspension, getting the rearward upper wishbone mounted lower on the nose cone.
All these details and more result in yet another stunning addition to an already sizable collection of modern day AFX Formula 1 race cars. Get yours today and get in the race!
