Tokai University

Read a message that they are all ok and the car too. Their plans have obviously suffered a setback but the main thing is that they are all ok. Will try and send a greeting on behalf of all Piston Heads (hope that is OK

Red and gold Courage-Oreca LC70.



DNF'ed on 185 laps but saw the sun come up.

Wow, I must've been tired, I went colour blind as well.

All is clear now, DOME racing team, 2008, white and gold, enclosed cockpit, driven by 2 Japanese drivers. Stopped at Mulsanne corner right in front of us.

Is it time yet ?

It was the white one I was thinking about...



As I was looking for the pictures of the Tokai car I stumbled over an article which shows how the Courage was the basis for quite a number of different cars... incl Acura
