This is just WRONG
Discussion
I'm excited about it.
One of the things that drives my passion for the sport is the innovation and different solutions you see to the same problem.
I loved the walrus Williams and wished it had proved to be quick as, whilst I will agree it was not easy on the eye, it was a different approach.
One of the main draws for me to GT's over Formual cars is the difference between the shape and sound of the cars. A Ford GT followed by a 458 chased by a SLS and all being kept honest by a brace of Audis is what gets my juices going.
On the Propotype front tell me that the mental image of one of these pushing an Audi through the 'New Esses' after the Dunlop Bridge doesn't fire you up and I'd say you have lost your racing soul.

Those would be the 'Forest Esses'.No, really.
Yes I KNOW that's probably the stretch of track with the fewest/furthest from any trees but apparently they are the Forest Esses (based on RLM's reporting of McNish's crash at the Forest Esses).
Nothing would surprise me with that section of track. I am still wondering why it is that the ACO refuse to put a big screen there when it is the section where the largest number of race fans can gather in one place. The only answer i can come up with is that they are worried it would hit Grandstand ticket sales but to me having a grandstand seat is a totally different kettle of cats.

Actually, not so long ago (and before the hateful twiddly bits forced upon us by the bikers), the banking above the left-hander of the Esses used to be covered with trees, and utterly unlit by spotlights and the like. Was a really cool place to spectate at night, and you could also see the cars coming under the bridge and down the hill before piling into the corners.No, really.
