It was '86. I was with Del at the time.In fact the only time Ihave stayed to see the finish of the race.
Pity that the intention is not yet to to develop the XKR into a GT2 contender to take on the F430

quite like the look of this x-type too
I worked for Jaguar at the X type plant ,we built and shipped some panels for a race programme then suddenly we were told to stop shipping that was 2004, now x type production is so low it is in danger of stopping

Interestingly Rollcentre announced that they will develop the Mosler for the GT3 championship and PSI are looking at developing the Ford GT for FIA GT3. Now considering there were 40+ cars at every round this year, I am starting to wonder where they are all going to go. Topping all that the GT3 Exiges running in Brit GT this year are destined for that championship too.
I have heard rumours that the FIA world council have rejected the GT3 Mosler after lobbying from other manufacturers. Can anybody here confirm this? |

I heard that as well, am waiting for it be officially confirmed. The homolagtion has only been refused for the FIA GT3 Championship the car is still likely to be eligible for national championships i.e. Brit GT
Apparently Mosler doesn't produce the 200 cars per annum they need to be homolagted. An exception was made for the Ascari, but the powers that be under direction from the other manufacturers already homolgated Mosler got the thumbs down. A big shame and Shorty will be gutted if its true.

Ahh the marvellous quirks of software. Either that or it recognises you (rightly) as someone to be nice to. I don't pretend to understand it and when all else fails, hitting everything in sight to try to re-arrange the lights, switches, bells and knobs into an eye-catching, pleasing pattern is the only option remaining to me.......
