Gee, I need to get out from under that rock, I only live up the road and never knew it was on. Thanks for the pictures, its hard to not appreciate the mechanics of those old beasts!!
Yeah, cool car, cool guy. Chris and I have shared many a beer mucking about with that beast....

Great way to get the competitive juices flowing at a young age!!! Who needs brakes, they only slow you down......
I could see that going pear shaped after turn one!!!
Wow, that last photo is great! I'm not sure what the new owner has in mind for this beast but it almost seems a shame to repaint the body, it looks perfect how it is, in its 'as last raced'...
Sorry to bump an old thread here but it sprung to mind as I come across a YouTube video today showing the race I mentioned above at Brands Hatch in 2003, won by Sébastien Bourdais, quite an action...

Nice in-car,gotta love the steering input....
I think they had a one off event in the days of CART in around 2003? Someone may correct me on that though...
