People who still drive them tell me they're fantastic cars and have been incredible value for money and I'd have thought, with a small amount of modernising, they'd still be a great entry to sports car racing without blowing a huge budget.
In OSS they've been running in pretty much a class of their own, tho a couple of Aquila Synergy's have appeared this year (kit cars) which seem to be well down on lap times at the start of the season.
I'd be interested to know people's opinions and experiences and whether anyone thinks there might be any interest in the market place for people to start racing these cars again.
What does anyone think?

I can't really comment on the Global Lights cars, but I know the guy who designed the Aquila Synergy. It's not really supposed to operate on the level of the OSS cars - It's primary function is to replace Formula Ford in Denmark, from what I've been told.
It's only powered by a Citroen C1 1.0, after all!
EDIT: I think it'd be a lot quicker with a motorcycle engine, actually...
