At the time of starting this project I'd been chatting with friends about F1 now versus when we were kids - and how in the "old days" the drivers seemed a lot more daring and committed - there was much more at stake.
Gilles Villeneuve sticks in my very earliest memories as being a true F1 Gladiator.
I wondered idly - what could he achieve with the ultimate track weapon?
I loved the original Adrian Newey RedBull X1 concept when it first appeared in Gran Turismo 5 in 2010.
The design has evolved within the game a few times since - proportions and details have been reworked.
Some tweaks have improved the looks, but other bits aren't as nice as the Newey 2010 original - my opinion.
So, I developed my own version - pulling together what I consider to be the "best bits" of what's gone before, and adding a few tweaks of my own . . . trying to reimagine it as a pure-bred Red Car - for Gilles.
This project was a load of escapist fun to develop . . . I hope you enjoy it too.
