I don't know.
I told the guys to buy a Seat Lion TDI on diesel, and prepare it for the Endurance series here in Holland on circuit zandvoort in the winter
But they want to race yesterday (if you know what i mean)

I don't understand the latter. Please, explain me.

Maybe it's the one prepared for Brazil, when all the sponsors realised how crappy this car is and pulled out?

This must have been one of the cars that traveled to Brazil after the embarrassment at Australia. The team lost all its backers (MasterCard, Pennzoil, etc.) after being so far off the pace, but it still traveled to Brazil and attempted to race.

Incredibly, even Bridgestone distanced themselves from this car. Note how the sponsor-less car now carries Goodyear tyres (and TINY logos) on the front wing!

I wonder if HRT will buy the car and contest it for the 2011 championship?

That would be a brilliant way to commemorate the reintroduction of the 107% rule!

For what it's worth someone on f1technical.net bought a Honda RA-107 without an engine on the cheap. Here's the thread on it:

...interesting that someone's suggested fitting it with a turbo diesel (to run it on chip fat) or an electric motor, so that the whole Earth Dreams malarkey might have meant something.

Even with the battery and motor from a milk float it'd go faster than it ever did on track...

Bump.

I'm back in the picture to buy the Lola T97/30

S951 · Post by **S951** » 06 May 2011, 20:59

before you buy it I would weigh up the cost of getting everything on it done so it's running if thats what you want on top of the 55k they are asking if thats what they want still compared to some of the other running cars you can get. I'd try that other one aswell see if they will take an offer on it

f1-gast · Post by **f1-gast** » 06 May 2011, 21:24

I know i know.
And i really don't have all the money (long time to go).
But i know what you mean it;s not sure only that im back in the picture.

Cool. It's about 2 and a half hours away from me, so it's an easy drive. Let me know if you're definitely coming over and we'll sort something out.

f1-gast · Post by **f1-gast** » 06 Jun 2011, 08:59

I really don't know where it is.
Well probably if i go it will be around mid August, as long my holiday to Jordan has been cancelled

Faustus · Post by **Faustus** » 06 Jun 2011, 09:45

It's in Huntingdon, in Cambridgeshire.

f1-gast · Post by **f1-gast** » 06 Jun 2011, 11:03

still rings no bell, is it close to any commerical airfield ?

Faustus · Post by **Faustus** » 06 Jun 2011, 11:06

Luton and Stansted are the closest commercial airports. They're not too far away, about 40 miles (60 km).

Lola is here:

Glebe Road
St Peters Road
Huntingdon
Cambridgeshire
PE29 7DS
United Kingdom

f1-gast · Post by **f1-gast** » 20 Jun 2011, 14:24

It's ironic that not all of the Mastercard advertising is there on the engine cover, considering it was pressure and non-payment from them that caused it to be such a fiasco.

Even worser, Rosset destroyed there his Gearbox, and his engine !

S951 · Post by **S951** » 18 Jul 2011, 15:58

looking at that it was just a chunky block compared to the other 1997 cars even the tyrrell, arrows, minardi looked less of a brick
