A Smart Roadster for the BTCC championship ??
Le Mans is life, anything before and after is just waiting...

... it's not the taking part but the winning that counts !

the front panel looks too short and the dashboard too modern to be a modified Frogeye ...

... quite an hard question BTW !!!

OK, not giving too much away but it has raced at Le Mans in the last decade!

Is it one of those nasty little Peugeot 2 litre things. Might as well have raced a Shrike.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

The only Loti in the last decade were Esprits and the gorgeous Elise GT1s ...... keep guessing!

 ;D After a roof chop!!

A little clue then as this one seems to be proving harder than I had anticipated ... it has a German engine.

Hi Rick,
I looks like the Kremer Porsche that Mr. Bell drove in, hmm...
I think it was '94 or '95 can't remember exactly which year.  It was supposed to be the big send off for Derek at Le Mans but obviously he's been pulled back a few times since.  If memory serves me right it started life as a 962 and the Kremer bros. simply spyder-ized it.  Gonna camp out in front of the TV all afternoon, its PLM day.  Like Phil, poverty's left me at home for this one, wouldn't be the same without Dave, Matt & Phil there either.

Yeah looks like car no  5  in 1994 - Gulf Oil Racing,
Kremer CK8 Spyder - Porsche -  Derek Bell, Robin Donovan,
Jürgen Lässig.
BUT the mirror supports are different. See: http://membres.lycos.fr/wspr/archivelm94.html
