So it's a change of rear geometry and new gearbox casing causing the hold-ups on the Strakka Dome.

They haven't been out testing since the Spa crash. You have to think it's doubtful they'll make CotA, especially with them missing the freight.

According to Japanese Autosport, the "old" gearbox casing of S103 is a ready-made parts of Xtrac.

If they can't move the repaired Dome to CotA in time, they could just move to the next round.

The race isn't for another 2 months but a gearbox casing? That's unfortunate.

It took five weeks of Columbus to make the transatlantic journey from Canaries to Bahamas @ the 15th century, but it takes around 1½-2 months from the ACO to carry some automobile freight from Europe to North America @ the 21st century.

Sailing time is about 7 days, but it depends a lot on what the selected load port is (I'm guessing somewhere like Hamburg makes sense), whether there's a transhipment involved to take it somewhere like Houston, and factor in something to handle loading in Europe, unloading in the US, customs clearance etc. Checking both Maersk and Hamburg Sud's shipping schedules they cite 30 days as estimated shipment times.

Maybe but it used to take 5 weeks of WTCC to transport cars and equipment overseas from Europe to Japan. We are talking of 7-8 weeks here between Europe and southern US

I think you're underestimating how long it probably takes to clear customs in the USA, and along with backlogs of freight that might mean the cars spend a few weeks on a ship docked in a US harbor.

I thought people would just print a new gearbox casing at home or are we not believing in the 3D printing hype?
Anyway, can still machine it from solid aluminium block with a few weeks lead time

Team Manager
I thought that Walmsley, the old Team Manager had left Strakka and Karl Patman took over his role?

Now I see that he is back again! What happened there........didn't get paid enough elsewhere, Patman not up to the job? Just curious as to why musical managers chair.... and hope it doesn't change things for the car being ready for Austin.

Minoru Hayashi will retire in 2015.
Therefore, Dome is re-arranging business scale now.
Dome continues 2015 or subsequent ones as a company.

So an Interlagos debut for the car according to DSC.

Lots of logical arguments for why it's so late etc, but nonetheless does nothing to alter my opinion that this is a troubled project.

Yes, reading between the lines of the DSC piece, it does suggest that there's been a major design issue with the rear end of the car.

Given the fact that once it races, they're apparently locked in on homologation for 3 years, I guess it makes sense to take their time and make sure it's right, but this latest delay does suggest that the previously announced problems were a lot more fundamental than we thought...

Dome has a good history, even with some recent upsets theyre respectable in the aero department.

Yes, but not much else. Even looking back through the Racing for Holland days, they've always had a rather woeful reliability record. And I think there was a comment attributed to them posted a while back (probably when Pesca ran the S102.5) that apparently "car failures are acts of nature", which was their reason for not really allowing Pescarolo to do reliability testing and upgrades.

Sadly, I agree with Starfish Primer, I think Strakka have been suckered mightily with the S103. They'd be better off getting their hands on something like an ARX-04 or a Ligier, and quickly.

In my mind Dome has always shown good ideas, and very interesting fast machines. Their "problem" is that their ambitions in their development department doesn't follow suit with the budget.
Therefor the reliability and speed of development doesn't get the proper priority of the budget.

If Dome where selected by a manufacture and given a proper budget, I think we would see a car running with the top.

Sad news.
Minoru Hayashi's road going sports car plan (TOWA) has frustrated.
He is disputing with the divorced former wife by the distribution of property.
He says that alomst all money for M&A for Dome carbon magic were taken by his former wife.
He brought the suit to his former wife.

According to Hayashi's statement,
A part of property of Dome was a former wife name in tax-reduction strategy.
Therefore, M&A money for Dome carbon magic was paid to her.
However, she claims that those property is her separate estates.

It is unfortunate, but you can't have it both ways. You can't place assets in your wife's name to dodge taxes and then when you divorce claim it was yours all along. It all just sounds very poorly thought out.

And this might be an unfair statement, but it seems to me that Dome/Hayashi is able to generate a lot of drama for a small company/single person.
