Sorry about the frog lingo, but you get the gist.
You can't fault Rebellion for effort, can you?
-
Yes, Rebellion are a great outfit.

They are a team I would love to see do well. Hopefully they will be able spring a surprise or two over the year.
-
Good news - certainly easy to spot the cars with the livery they ran last year!

Might be the beginning of a full factory backed Toyota team? Let's hope so, they can sure use some good race results to make people forget about theyre F1 adventure!

Let's hope so. Who will forget these cars. I still say that if Shinji Nakano hadn't suffered a blowout whilst chasing down the Beemer in 1999 he would have won the race.

katayama had the blowout after setting fastest race lap and i lost the sweepstake.i remember suzuki being in tears on the podium.nearly 2nd jap team to win.
-
Oops, my mistake :-[. Ukyo Katayama it was and not Nakano

So cool. just a glance in the wing mirror
-
Very good save by him, felt at the time he was robbed and they should have won, but to finish first etc etc
btw That BMW looks so dated now, but the GTone still looks current awesome car.
-
at the silverstone race we helped push the bmw onto the weighbridge with the raf falcons it looked great.and was still warm.

For my buck, the GT-One is still one of the best-looking cars ever.

Agreed.
Although it's still behind the Bentley, the Silk Cut Jag and the Porsche 911 GT1 (98?) for me....
It's still a stunning car though - saw it at the FOS a few years back - looked as fresh as a daisy.

the Porsche 911 GT1 (98?)
It sure was 98 Bradders. McNish's first win. I believe that the car is in the museum at LM. I loved the GT 90's, So much better looking than most of the soulless LMP1 cars that came later.

Definately, LM sportscars look so much better with a roof on.
-
98 was my first visit to the race and I must admit when seeing the blowout on the screen at the time I was really dissapointed for Toyota as in my opinion it was one of the best looking cars in its timeand they deserved to win,on the other hand the 911gt1 win re-launched Alan McNish's career.
It would have been even better if Brundle had been in the lead tho!!!!

It was in 2008.

There were strong whisperings around a year ago that the old GT-One had spent 3 days hammering around Suzuka with a very different sounding engine note and a few dozen factory engineers pouring over it every time it stopped. The official line was that they were getting it ready for FOS- but for 3 days??
Read into that what you will, but I think a return is on the cards and that car was being used as a mule.
