A Supercar Enthusiast Self-Builds A Formula 1 Car
A GENIUS mechanic has spent two years building his very own Formula 1 car from scratch. After attending a car event in Belgrade, supercar fanatic Mišo Kuzmanovic decided to make his childhood dreams come true by constructing his own race-car. Mišo worked long days and nights to complete his passion project, putting in more than 1,000 hours of labour – and spending an estimated $26,000 in the process. And now, Mišo’s efforts have been rewarded as he can drive the vehicle around his hometown, Prnjavor, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, after making it fully road-legal.

00:00Hello, I'm Mišo Kuzmanović from Prnjavora, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and this is my Formula.
00:17Mišo Kuzmanović had the idea to build a Formula 1 car from scratch ever since he was a child.
00:24I read about the situation in Belgrade, that Formula 1 cars are coming, just for the promotion, so we went there.
00:31It was cold, and then we watched the race.
00:43In my job, I did the construction and design, my friends also helped me.
00:51It was a long night, so we came to help him, to see what he was going to eat, to see if everything was OK.
01:01I was happy to help him, and later we enjoyed driving this car together.
01:21Formula 1 is not identical to Formula 1, but it was built according to my vision.
01:31Everything was difficult, because we had to put everything together and solve everything.
01:37It took about two years.
01:40We added some music, which is not in the regular Formula 1 cars.
01:44There was a lot of space in the car, so I had to turn the steering wheel, so I could put my foot in the car.
02:00It said, please don't lean, touch and get in.
02:08Everyone wanted to touch, sit, lean, take pictures.
02:20Everyone loves photography, but I had to write it down, to keep the color and the line.
02:28I also had a problem that my wife helped me with.
02:34She said, how long will you drive in Formula 1?
02:39Where will I be?
02:41So I had to build another car.
02:44But I can tell you that it is unique, and each unique is expensive.
02:49But the process was harder for me to legalize it.
02:53There was a lot of paperwork, but we managed to register it.
03:03I have a desire to create something else.
03:09These are some little secrets.
