bazza_g Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Well not quite, the seat and driving position were very comfortable, if a little snug Unfortunately having it fire up and rev is as far as the car went today due to the FIA declaring that the homologation papers were not fully completed within the time limit for the Silverstone round of the championship - everyone involved very dissapointed but great to see the car - its stunning and sounds incredible, not to mention the best gear shifter ever! It was also generating a lot of interest from the public and other teams alike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
