Looks like a Peterbilt. Couldn't tell you what the white plastic thing in the foreground is though

It was also at Silverstone in the BRDC car park for the FIA GT race back in May, 'cos I thought it was a Mosler too until I saw the back of it.

Christ, that's a bit harsh isn't it?

Personally I thought it looked the dogs knackers, but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder . I certainly wouldn't mind having a go at a trackday.

I'm assuming that it's a Farboud with a GT1 style body?

Saw the owner trying to drive this away, it was popping a banging like a good un, stalled it about 3 times, but it sounded great when it got going.

Girl in the passanger seat was very nice too,

proper supercar,

jon - we met this car and it;'s tow driver at the chunnel on the way down to le mans.
It is indeed the FB GT1 - porsche GT1 rp off the law suit was about (As the man told us!)...

Currently running an AUDI v6TT engine and drivetrain (drivetrain a bit wonky apparrently but just about fits!!). Mad a f**k to drive the man says, and the mayor of le mans had personally paid for it to be at the race - so down it went on the trailer.

Nose has been reshaped since legal enforcement from porsch gmbh and the body is all carbo fibre.

What I liked about it was this:

Buying number plates on the cheap! Hope there weren't similar cost cutting measures elsewhere.
