- You have probably seen it on television. Sunday afternoon, out in the middle of the field, bright pink and always fighting. Not for the headlines, but for the points. And that is exactly what makes this car interesting.In 2017, Force India appeared on the grid with the VJM10. Not an experimental project or a showpiece, but a genuine Formula 1 car that actually competed. Driven by Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez, in a season where the midfield was incredibly close. Teams like Toro Rosso, Haas, Renault, and Williams were all right there. Every position had to be earned.What stood out immediately: Force India started the season strong. In the opening races, both drivers consistently finished in the points. That may sound normal, but in that midfield, it was anything but guaranteed. During the Spanish Grand Prix, for example, they finished fourth and fifth. Results like that meant the VJM10 was not just participating—it was truly competing.And then there is this specific chassis. An example that actually took part in ten Grands Prix. Not a show car assembled afterwards without history, but a car that has genuinely covered miles on circuits around the world. It is also a car associated with Ocon's season, in which he finished in the points no fewer than nine times. That says something about consistency. And about how reliable this car proved to be in practice.Force India ultimately finished the season fourth in the Constructors' Championship, with a higher points tally than the year before. In doing so, the team once again confirmed its position as a consistent force in the midfield. The VJM10 played a central role in that achievement.What you see here is an example in show car configuration. Not in running condition, but visually exactly as you remember it. The pink BWT livery, the low nose, the complex front wing, and of course the halo construction that made its introduction during that period. Everything is visually correct. It is a car that is instantly recognizable, even to someone who only watches a race occasionally.And that, in short, is what makes this Force India so compelling. You look at it and immediately know: this Formula 1 car truly competed. Not at the back, but in the fight for points. You have probably seen it pass by without even realizing it.Looking for something for your man cave? This is one that comes with a story right away—no need to add anything to it.Interested?
