A full-scale BWT Racing Point RP19 replica on display at the 54th Africa Concours d’Elegance at Ngong Racecourse.
A full-scale replica of the 2019 Racing Point RP19 went on display at Ngong Racecourse, bringing Formula One styling to the classic-car event.
A full-scale replica of a BWT Racing Point Formula One car made its Kenyan debut on Sunday.
The display appeared at the 54th Africa Concours d’Elegance at Ngong Racecourse.
The F1-style machine added a modern motorsport attraction to the event’s classic-car showcase.
Its distinctive Racing Point livery immediately stood out among the historic vehicles on display.
However, the car is a replica rather than an original Formula One race machine.
It has no functioning engine, meaning visitors saw a static display rather than a working race car.
Replica Brings 2019 F1 Memories
The replica represents Racing Point’s RP19, which competed during the 2019 Formula One season.
The team fielded Sergio Pérez of Mexico alongside Canada’s Lance Stroll that season.
The actual RP19 used a Mercedes 1.6-litre V6 turbo-hybrid power unit.
However, the Kenyan replica does not carry an operational engine or the original racing technology.
Its purpose is instead to recreate the appearance and scale of the Formula One car.
RP19’s 2019 Championship Record
Racing Point finished seventh in the 2019 Formula One constructors’ championship.
Pérez ended the drivers’ championship in 10th position that season.
The replica therefore carries a visual connection to the machinery used during that campaign.
Still, it should not be mistaken for one of the original cars raced by Pérez or Stroll.
The display separates the iconic design of the RP19 from the technology that powered it on track.
F1 Meets Classic Motoring
The Racing Point replica brought a single-seater racing theme to the Africa Concours d’Elegance.
The event remains widely associated with classic and historic automobiles.
Therefore, the Formula One display offered visitors a different glimpse of motorsport history.
Its Kenyan debut focused on appearance rather than speed or competitive performance.
For fans, the full-scale replica provided a closer look at Racing Point’s 2019 Formula One design.
