...this is the end, my beautiful friend - the end...

Any chance that we will see these cars again? Other old Reynards will probably be on track this year.

I can't see any reason why someone shouldn't wheel them out again. Disappointing news actually, would they have survived if they'd bother to update their web site now and again......

(Bit like me, actually!).

The cars where advertise in Autosport before Christmas, not sure what has happen to them now.

I could only afford one.....

If the cars are sold, somenone could do something with them... but I doubt it could be Le Mans ; the race is too tough for a simple customer without support... and did you see the pre-enter list ? Not much place for 'amateurs'...

Osella · 22 Jan 2003, 17:06 (Ref:482582)

they did have a sort of six-storey scaffolding/portakabin type thing in the paddock,didn't they?

Not that this gives us any clue as to their demise....

Yes it looked like an oil rig.

Its a shame , i loved those cars last year , really beautifull and a wonderfull sound.

Sad

Looks like the del Bello team will rise from the ashes - they are getting ready to field their 2KQ at Le Mans this year.
Provided they get an invite of course

Almost all the old 2KQs may see racing action of some kind this year - 1 for Nasamax, 2 for Goddard, 1 for del Bello...

Nordic · 12 Feb 2003, 12:46 (Ref:504354)

Do ROC not get an invite as LMP675 winners in 2002, It would make sense for Del Bello to use the name as well as the cars

kdr · 12 Feb 2003, 13:27 (Ref:504412)

according to maison blanche lmp900/675/gtp...counts as one class for automatic entry. therefore audi get it if they want it.

Where did you get the info ? There's no hint saying that Noel Del Bello could enter a car in LMP675 on french sites, even by David Legangneux who is the main Le Mans Racing journalist (quite well informed, usualy)...

If the info is confirmed, and I hope it will, it's very good news.

cybersdorf · 12 Feb 2003, 20:56 (Ref:504817)

I got the info off a certain sportscar site (of the daily variety) that unfortunately can't be accessed right now because some

ing little

hacked the server!!!
