Independent Bulgarian filmmaker Lubo Marinov built a full-scale replica of the Jordan 191 from a 1:24 model to use in his €15,000 short film "The Kaiser" about Michael Schumacher’s early Formula 1 career.
Marinov and his jeweler father measured every panel on the model, multiplied dimensions by 24, and used laser-cut plywood panels, revising the build after scaling inaccuracies. The finished car features carbon-fiber-clad bodywork, a 3D-printed Alcantara-covered steering wheel and repurposed Formula 3 tires with period Goodyear decals.
Marinov released the trailer earlier this month and the short centers on Michael Schumacher’s 1991 debut and early seasons. The film stars Jivko Sirakov as Michael Schumacher and includes actor Dimiter Marinov as Eddie Jordan; Dimiter Marinov’s credits include "Green Book" and Apple TV’s "For All Mankind."
With its limited budget, "The Kaiser" emphasizes Schumacher’s personal journey over full F1 spectacle and reflects the constraints of an independent Bulgarian production. Viewers seeking a more documentary-style account can watch the Netflix documentary "Schumacher."
