"Lumpy"
Can this car run again? The project was funded by Toyota Motor Sports division. The budget was very tight (<$500k), and there was never any intention on the part of Toyota to race it, although we at TOM'S had hopes, particularly after it tested promisingly. Where is TOM's?

Another project from Andy Thorby! He also did the Panoz LMP-07 (and admits it was an agressive, and unsorted, design, with serious wind-tunnel work needed), and is currently working on the Lister LMP (which is supposed to be unveiled on Thursday).

From Toronto huh... another local boy.
 I think the bigger question would be, would anybody want to go to the expense to bring it up to spec? This is an older car, and some of the rules have changed quite a bit since its design. Given the pending rules changes, I just can't see why anybody would bother. |

Lets just hope the Lister LMP is more sorted, than the Panoz was. Isnt Don Panoz running the LMP 07 Panoz in next years ALMS?

Lindsay was very fast for a raper car but it had weak suspensions.
What is Harrier? A motoracing aeroplan? |
