Damon Hill's Arrows from the 1997 Hungarian GP is up for sale
The car that almost pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Formula One history is up for sale.
Racing for Arrows, defending F1 champion Damon Hill entered the 1997 Hungarian GP - the 11th round of season - having finished no better than sixth all year.
For the Hungarian GP, however, Hill had qualified a spectacular third on the grid. Hill moved up to second at the start and then passed rival Michael Schumacher for the lead on Lap 11. Unfortunately for the Brit, it all came undone with two laps to go when a hydraulic glitch erased his half-minute lead to Jacques Villeneuve. Villeneuve won the race while Hill had to settle for a heartbreaking second.
Twenty years later, the car remains in perfect condition and has been restored to its original specifications. The car is equipped with the latest D-spec Yamaha (Judd) engine and comes with a set of manuals, data and analysis as well as some pit equipment, all for just 250,000 Euros ($269K USD).
