What about the RFH Dome Judd?
What about 'm really?
So far,I've heard Jan Lammers is also using the 5.5 Liter Judd engine and has full factory support from the Dome factory,but news has been scarce the last weeks... Well apart from the chassis arriving soon ofcourse. |

We have seen only some aerodynamic changes, the dummy was on it's way back from England having had a crash test. The new chassis was due to arrive on the 13th of March, which means the crew only had about 11 days to get the car together for the first test this Sunday. This is probably why the news has been scarce lately, they're kinda busy... Racing for Holland has good prospects for 2007 with a new Dome chassis, an upgraded engine and Michelin tyres... This is us at the Workshop, Friday 2nd of March. ![]() Last edited by Paddy_NL; 23 Mar 2007 at 09:42. |

Nope, nothing yet. Jan is looking for a major sponsor, no more black 'n white balls or squares.
We'll have our logo on the Dome again, but it will definitely be small - and probably tucked away as we have a beer glass in our logo ![]() |

I'm sure Dome's increased involvement will ensure the programme goes ahead as expected, but I take it Jan has yet to actually find a major sponsor?

Jan was very positive about the two races (Ohio & Atlanta) in the ALMS as well, that has probably all to do with Dome's involvement. As a consequence about five from our group will go to Petit Le Mans to support Racing for Holland. |

That GV5.5 really requires a large rear deck.

I imagine it might look better once painted, or at least when it's one color.

no idea where else to say this, but...
people of holland, i salute you. ![]() ![]() so much enthusiasm for motorsport! at donington lms last year the only flags i saw were dutch, and even though they (unfortunately) had little to cheer, their spirits stayed as raised as their flags. if only british fans were as good towards their sportscar stars. |

However,I have to say that the brits are pretty enthousiastic as well,especially when visiting Le Mans. The dutch and the brits allways seem to get along very well on that party! ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ............but you Dutch fans have us well and truly whipped when it comes to visual impact. The orange haze that descends in front of the tribunes during the build-up to the race and again at the end has become a tradition at Le Mans which would be sorely missed if it were absent from the proceedings. Respect to you guys. Great fans, great people, great fun (roll on June)! ![]() ![]() Incidentally, the car looks magnificent (even in it's current unpainted form). I'm fairly convinced that with the new Judd engine, we'll see Jan on the podium at least once this year despite stiff competition. ![]() |

i think perhaps a zandvoort lms race isnt far away? hmm actually didnt they get noise restricted? so perhaps somewhere else in that vague netherlands-ish direction? the crowd would be big, right?
i actually wish i could speak dutch, to catch some of the crazy support of anything orange. we brits are patriotic, but easily bored. however, i'd like to add i support gt racing as a whole, and if that means germany, britain, france or whoever, i'll support it =] |

And Badger, please try and make it to our pitch on Maison Blanche this time on Friday night. That's the third invitation in a row now! ![]() |

You britons will enjoy that party for sure, unless the DfH guys decide to hang up one of their giant flags in front of a sponsor logo and then the bobbies start chasing them all over the circuit like very rude Belgian police tried to do at Spa last year...
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think the english would have a better sense of humor though, those Belgian peasant policemen acted like they were more or less dismantling a criminal gang , I guess very little happens at downtown Malmedy usually.... I'm sure the DfH team still has some of their awesome pictures of the incident in their site. |

hmmm. I reckon a big man in orange, and not dutch orange, would be a bit angry- can you imagine that? Marshall in orange chases Dutchman in orange? People would pay a lot of good money to see that...

I am afraid to say that I would not buy one for its looks. The area behind the roll blades looks ungainly. All will not be lost, however, if it goes fast.
