HRT F112
HRT's final Formula One car, a 2012 backmarker that raced without KERS or even a brake-bias adjuster in the cockpit.
About the HRT F112
The F112 was the last car built by the HRT team, driven in 2012 by Pedro de la Rosa and Narain Karthikeyan. It failed two mandatory crash tests, missed pre-season testing and made its track debut in a shakedown on 5 March, and both cars then failed to qualify within 107% in Australia. The car improved during the year, with de la Rosa outqualifying both Marussias in Canada thanks to a new low-downforce rear wing, but it remained the slowest car on the grid and reliability suffered as the team's finances declined. HRT went into administration in November 2012, and both F112 chassis were bought by Teo Martín.

Each model's tier starts from a 0–100 score based on its value plus its power or production numbers. Once enough players have spotted a model, how often it is spotted can move it up or down one tier. How CarSpot rarity works
Rarity is a collectible game mechanic, not an assessment of real-world scarcity or value.
HRT F112 fun facts
