Lola LMP1 @ RA last w/e
Gents,
Johan C. had his toys at R.A last w/e with the VDCA. How'd you like to have this in your rear mirror thru turns 2,3,4 and thru the esses? Was a bit intimidating. No place to get out of the way!!!!!!!! He's a real gentleman on the track. BTW, it does sound absolutely glorious as he charges by. The red Lola is John Surtees & Graham Hill's 1966 Can-AM Championship car.

My company made the master patterns for that LMP1 cars side pod sills and a section of the center nose (up to the center light). Chris Pratt from Lola is a great person to work with.

Not quite sure why they needed the prow of a WW One battleship in the center of the nose.
Guess they needed a tall large divider to split the airflow to the radiator coolers on either side.

I think the driver found out that on cold tires you can't use the paddle shift like a kick down gear on an automatic because the autorev feature will break the rears loose. I bet he really felt stoopid with half of England watching from the pits!

They let him start by himself from the hotpits. I was at the front of the group in pit row. When I came up the hill from T1 he was facing me, stopped on the outside shoulder. I was as surprised as he was (possibly). I expected him to come flying by me in the opposite direction.
I should have in-car video but I don't- camera not on (doh).

I have it on good authority that he has a screw loose![/QUOTE]
If he does have a screw loose, where can I get one?? I want three incredible cars, a few helicopters and an RCR transporter. The motor home ain't bad either.
