Autocar 0-100-0 this week, where was the Ultima from the factory???
COME ON GUYS!!!!!!! Wouldn't this be a good place to put the name out there and prove the car in the public eye?

I would think it more likely they were not invited rather than declined to attend?
- just a guess!

the bigger manufacturers must be giving Ultima Sports money to stay away I reckon - they don't want to be embarrassed by a faster, cheaper car

As I understand it they were invited this year as well, but didn't have a car ready for the test.
