The DW might not be the strangest looking car ever to contest the 24 hours... Any advances on the 1966 Mini Marcos? (BTW It was the only British car to finish.)  And anyone who went to the classic four years ago would have seen a Mini Marcos in action. It spent its night laps with a safety car following it round because, A, it was seriously slow, B, it had rear lights like tab ends on a foggy night, and C, someone decided to paint it a very dark colour. |

So Nissan want their name splashed down the sides then. Bad move. Is the engine from a Datsun Cherry Turbo?  |

Christ, the driver looks very exposed. Let's hope it doesn't get out of shape on the Mulsanne and end up sideways across the track!

I think there were two marco's (both french) at the classic in 2010, and by the way I think the DW looks terrific.

I was there! There were two Marcos in 2008 LMC, one was white and one green, run by Rae Davis who was also responsible for the 'flying peanut' Austin A35 at the Goodwood Revival. If I recall correctly, the green one had engine problems that put it off the pace, but that is what you get trying to make a BMC A-series engine do more than twice the RPM it was designed for! And anyone who went to the classic four years ago would have seen a Mini Marcos in action. It spent its night laps with a safety car following it round because, A, it was seriously slow, B, it had rear lights like tab ends on a foggy night, and C, someone decided to paint it a very dark colour.

Am I mistaken, or did I see a tweet yesterday saying that it ended up in the wall at turn 1?
I may have imagined it, as I was watching the rugby fortified by cheap Guinness on Paddy's day.

You are mistaken. Blame the Guinness, but at £2.50 a pint it would have been rude not to partake in volume. |

Think I misread ADR Delta for the Deltawing.  Guinness goggles to blame. |
