1995  Teo Fabi   CE. #33

1995 was the only year since 1991, that Gerald Forsythe was not involved in the Player's Ltd. Indy Car Team.      He still had his Player's Forsythe Indy Lights Team, but Barry Green had the Player's sponsorship on his #27 Indy car that year with driver Jacques Villeneuve.      Forsythe Racing fielded the #33 Reynard, with Teo Fabi, and a series of 1/10th. and 2 1/5th. scale models were commissioned.

Teo Fabi also drove for Hall/VDS in 1993 in the #8 Pennzoil car

Tony Kanaan 1999 McDonald's #44 road course

1999 "Forsythe Championship Racing Teams" run a second team, with the new McDonald's sponsorship.     It was the #44 Car driven by a newcomer to Champ Car, Tony Kanaan.      During that season, Tony won his first race at the U.S. 500, and  models were commissioned for the super speedway version to mark his "First 500 Mile Win" and the road course, to mark his "First Champ Car Win".

As Greg Moore in 1998, and Tony Kanaan in 1999, had each won the U.S.500, Forsythe Championship Racing Teams commissioned a very special model to be built.     A 1/5th scale of each of the cars, back to back, on one base.   It is a huge model, almost 8 feet long.      We also decided for this model, to move the drivers, Greg and Tony, out of the cockpits, and sit them on the front centre of the base.        This model, along with all the other 1/5th scale models, commissioned by Mr. Forsythe over the last few years, will be on display in the new "Forsythe Racing Museum" now being built in, I beleive, Wheeling Illinois
