Per the Hot Wheels wikia, "The GP-2009 has been around since 1999 and has seen many names. It has gone by: Generic Indy Car, Ferrari F1, Jaguar F1, Jordan F1, McLaren F1, Stewart F1, and Williams F1. Originally the casting featured an open cockpit but in 2000, a driver was added to this castings interior mold. In 2009, this car was finally given the official name of GP-2009." As a native of Indianapolis, I like open-wheeled cars due to the local connection. I like the blue Mattel used on this casting, and think that, overall, it is a good example of a Gran Prix racer.
Modeling in (mostly) 1/72nd scale (and any other subject that catches my attention - author suffers from acute "shiny item" syndrome)
