Dome developed the bobsled for the national team of Japan.
However, it was not used at the Olympic Games because of the lack of the performance.

Handle-bar in the picture on the top left clearly made its way to the P2 car.

See, there you go, not even slightly off-topic.

You know I -relatively- rather liked the view from the low angle and front in here
http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....postcount=1617

... hower from other angles, particularly from sides it looks unpleasant and even more disproportioned than Audi. The high cockpit looks very cubical and that livery livery isn't helping either

Coupes from last decade are already starting to have Group C god-like shapes in comparison to the modern ones



Like a freaking Batmobile!! I want one.

Note before someone erupts: I DO like some of the recent LMP designs such as the R-One, 919 (from most angles) and Oak P2 (from most angles), however it still feels like comparing famous actress on set and then leaked photo of her shopping in Walmart the next morning in hangover

Strakka Racing withdraws from LM !

An "off" during testing at Spa is quoted as the reason. What a shame...

The crash was at eau rouge. And you don't have small crashes in that corner.

This close to the test day, there is little chance to get the tub fixed, car built back up, and get to LM.

They'd make the race, but, not the test day.

So many entries winding down in Le Mans that I feel that there's not enough reserves for this year.

On the other hand, it's a shame that Dome and Strakka would pull out because of a nasty crash at Spa. Maybe after Le Mans, I hope that they could race it in the remaining WEC rounds, plus the Petit Le Mans if they're permitted to do so.

Doubt PLM would be doable. They dont run continental tires so the switch would be huge blow to their performance and setup and maybe against their tire deal?

Dome's comment about withdrawal from LM24
Parts unit problems are the main reasons for delay.
Therefore, problems will be solved soon.
We would like to return to WEC from suitable time.
Since we used new parts suppliers, the delay of parts supply and the problems occured.
We want to apologize to team Strakka and related persons.
