Benetton B196 1996 Brazilian GP Jean Alesi Rain Tires #3 in 1:18 scale
This is the Benetton B196 1996 Brazilian GP Jean Alesi Rain Tires #3 in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
In the rain‑soaked 1996 Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, Jean Alesi delivered a stunning performance in the Benetton B196, showcasing his talent in tricky conditions. Starting from the wet, he made bold moves on the rain tires, staying out longer than many rivals before switching to slicks as the track began drying. Alesi’s driving that day was both aggressive and precise — he overtook several cars and applied sustained pressure, particularly on Johnny Herbert, making memorable passes in difficult circumstances. Although he couldn’t catch Damon Hill — who mastered the wet to win — Alesi secured a strong 2nd place, underlining his reputation as one of the great “rain masters.” His drive stood out not just for raw speed, but for strategic insight, as he judged the changing grip levels expertly, making that race a defining moment in his career.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
