Grand Prix Rejects

I was just having a bit of a browse on SpeedHunters when I read this article on Mondello Park ( http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/08/the ... -mondello/ ) and saw what was on display in the museum there... both a Pacific PR-01 and PR-02, one of the 2005 Jordans, some MasterCard Lola driving suits and what on first glance appeared to be a 2010 Lotus, but is in fact a repainted Lola T97!

If anyone knows of any reject F1 cars at museums, post them here, as I'm sure a few members would like to head to that museum to check them out in the metal/carbon-fibre. Also, feel free to mention any reject F1 cars you've seen at race events and car shows and post any pictures if you have them.

At the Stavelot Abbey, in the Spa-Francorchamps section, there is a yellow Talbot-Lago, probably Johnny Claes', two Makis, a Kauhsen and a 2001-2002 Arrows.

At the Spa historic F1, I saw the mid-70's reject car trifecta: Token, Trojan and Amon, as well as an old ERA and a Scarab.

Donington Park has a 2000 and 2002 Jaguar, a 1994 McLaren and a 1992 Brabham.

They do, as well as the 1992 Brabham they have the LEC CRP1, amongst others.

I'm pretty sure the Coventry Transport Museum has a Jaguar, don't know which one though, and a Tyrrell P34. Been a long while since I've been in there though.

I saw Lotus (aka Caterham), HRT and Virgin/Marussia at the Italian GP last year... Don't think there have been any reject cars at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, sadly. And when I went to the Haynes Motor Museum, the only F1 cars I remember are an Embassy Hill and the 1996 Ferrari (definitely a reject in the beauty stakes!).

I *think* it was Justin Wilson's Jaguar but it's been a while since I was there so I can't be certain. I've got a picture of it somewhere. I was too busy drooling over the P34 to take much notice of the Jag in all honesty.

I have loads of pics from Donington from my visit which was over 10 years ago now, pretty sure I've got the Lec but as it wasn't a digital pic I'll have to scan it. I'll dig them out and do that sometime.

I will go to there in the very near future and take pictures and get exicited and ohmigod why have I never been there.

I knew that was an Onyx ORE-2 being exposed on the Monteverdi Museum, in Switzerland. Does this museum still exist?

According to this website, it does! Though only for pre-booked groups it seems. F1Rejects roadtrip anyone?

There's some videos of the place towards the bottom of the page. In the first one, you can see what appears to be at least two Onyx cars at around 0:28 and 0:57, so I guess they must still be there!

EDIT: And this webpage on the same website seems to confirm that they still exist too - http://www.tobiasullrich.de/monteverdi/cars/f1/index.html

Internet cookie or chocolate chip cookie?

Isn't the DAMS F1 car at the DAMS factory?
I e-mailed them a few years ago and it was there...they even sent me a few pics of it!

cookie with choco chips

emailed dams

now find me the modified cars of larousse for 95

From what I found the LC95 was designed but never built...and the LC94 was never upgraded to the 1995 regs.

They also tried a deal with DAMS to run the DAMS F1 car.

I've been on holiday this week, and visited a museum that had some F1 related cars and other items. Nothing particularly rejectful (with one nice exception!) but I will post some pics soon.

Or the ex-Prost Phoenix/D.A.R.T cars! Or much less a picture or picture of a crew uniform...team logo.....or anything proving their "existence."
