I believe the maximum width of 2017 F1 car should be 2000 mm. Would the width of a 1/12 model be 166.67 mm?

184,4 mm seems to be too wide for a W08.

I believe 2000mm excludes the tyres, perhaps 184mm includes the tyres?

Correct, 2000mm excluding the tires: https://www.formula1.com/en/championshi ... ckpit.html

This project is superb. I can’t wait for the model to be released so that I can add a modern, large scale F1 model to my collection that isn’t red.
