who do you wanna see back?
« on: July 11, 2007, 02:30:33 pm »
me? well i would love to see Morgan return, with a british line up of say Brundle, Herbert and oh i dunno say Damon Hill, as long as they can all bear not having any hope of winning.

And top flight to take on Audi, hmmmmm, Maserati should do something, drivers i will leave open as long as Michael Shoemaker is not involved.

Not "back" but I'd love to see a Ford GT race in anger at LM.

The return of the likes of Mercedes would be interesting, plus a proper Porsche P1 prototype (all closed coupe style please).

Would love to see my beloved Alfa Romeo back at Lm one day. Would also like to see a little 2 stroke SAAB at the classic Le Mans in Plateau 3 in 2010 ;D ;D fingers crossed on that one. Oh and would love to see Cream do the Sat night gig whilst we are at it!

A nice pair of Bristols would be better, nudge nudge wink wink!

A Piper GTR - built better this time - when they raced (practiced actually - weren’t allowed to race on safety grounds) in 68 they were actually 3 sec a lap faster the class of the field - Renault Alpines. The issue was that there bodywork departed the rest of the car half way down Mulsane. They were  about 3" lower than a GT40 and built at what became Emmbrook Engineering in Wokingham when the Engine Tuning division (Piper Cams) split off)

Bugatti Veron in race set-up driven by me. Ok it'd have to stop every twelve minutes to refuel but hey, you can't have everything.

How about some nice electric cars, I do find those Audis a bit too noisey.

But I have to agree with Steve Brown. a nice  proper Porsche P1 prototype (all closed coupe style please) in Gulf racing livery.
If I was you, I wouldn't start from here

 It ran again at the Classic last year, although the reliability factor played a hand. Car looked gorgeous and the girl in the period Piper Racing overalls and not much else that was fettling it wasn't too bad either! I'm sure someone has a picture somewhere.

There is only one person, and he is time less.



Not sure who would be his team mates would be?
