Andrea Moda’s attempt at F1 in 1992 is the stuff of infamy, so bad was its operation. But one act in particular shook driver Perry McCarthy, a man akin to danger.
The early 1990s in Formula 1 were marked by intense rivalries like Senna vs Prost and Mansell’s retirement and return with Williams, but also by smaller teams like Andrea Moda hoping for success. Unfortunately, Andrea Moda, emerging from Coloni’s remnants, faced early setbacks, including being barred from a race due to unpaid fees. Despite challenges, drivers Roberto Moreno and Perry McCarthy were brought in, with McCarthy facing difficulties securing a super-license. McCarthy recalls his difficult experience driving for Andrea Moda, including setting the slowest-ever F1 lap in Monaco due to sub-standard equipment. Despite the challenges and turmoil, McCarthy persevered and maintained a sense of humor, even referring to his Monaco lap as one of his most frightening experiences on the circuit.
