I second that, Barry, the Dome is a beautiful coupe and I was looking forward to see this again. What a pity.

Ah, coupe: Does anyone know what happened to those 2 Epsilon Euscadis which were at Le Mans 2 years ago?

Cheers

Great shame, I loved those cars, even more than the Dome.
You expected to see Darth Vader get out of them when they came into the pits.

Pity it's out - the covered cars are the nearest we've got to the Group C cars which I miss.

Only one car - KSM is on pole on the prototype reserve list because the Tokai University team withdrew.

Is that a pun with regards to last years drama ? :o

Personally, I regret not seeing the Dome and I also fear that the Norma will not be ready in time for Le Mans. It's always good to see new cars but in this case I hope that Pegasus will throw the towel because it most certainly will be a JLOC like experience if they hold on to their entry. On the plus side this would give KSM another go which would make me happy. :D

I'm not sure where the car was built but it's true that Dome have two subsidiaries in Kingston upon Thames (Dome Carbon Magic and Dome Tunnel).

A bit long and hard going but its a tale of woe and explains the reasons dome are not racing this year.

PS if your dutch or Jan Lammers fan you might not fully agree!!
