Old champion or not, she still deserved the restoration you guys gave her. And to top it, she was on a track once again, and driven in anger!!
Bravo to you guys!!

All that Olaf could confirm to Charles was that the cars were owned & run by the Derkum team which unfortunately no longer races, since the team had all the records of the cars he could not help. The lack of evidence was not news to us, this had been confirmed by Olaf a couple of years ago when interviewed by a journalist we know in relation to an article he wrote about Kermit.

So, by 'cars' did he mean both the Signal Green and Grand Prix White car number 33? I'm asking because it seems after reviewing the history and evidence of the Signal Green cars that the car that was 'wrecked' at Spa could have been repaired while Manthey raced in the White car and then given back to Manthey, so instead of two green cars, they are one and the same? ...
As we know already, the first green car was rented out for the Spa 24hr race where it crashed out resulting in the team re-liveried a white Cup for the next 3 races. I have no doubt though that as a condition of the loan the drivers would have taken out a replacement value insurance to cover a worst case scenario. A five month old Cup would have therefore been replaced, even if the car was easily repairable. After all, why would the team want back a repaired car when they could have a brand new one?
Secondly, as cofirmed by Manthey in his interview, the last comment he makes is that he would not be surprised if one of his three cars would still win a race today.
