The #2 is the Aquila CR1. It ran at the BC24 last year, or rather it went out on track, came in for repairs, went out on track, came in for .......

Effectively, it is a prototype style car with a FOOKING HUGE LS7 in the back. The team spent most of Saturday morning cutting more cooling holes in the engine cover because they were worried about the engine. It was 2-3 seconds a lap quicker than a Mosler round the Arena layout.

The #18 is a Chevron GR8 IIRC, cant remember who runs it.

ETA: didnt spot the other two Answers.

The Aquila got the pole at the 24 by the way but I seem to remember it not really making a splash at the finish. It was running IIRC, defying the bets we had in the press room. Most said it would last a couple of hours. I bet on it blowing up on the formation lap.

Not surprised, when it works it is a fantastic machine. When it doesn't, the highways people have to get the Armco out.

Good thread.

FJ Crusier - based on the Prado/Little Land Crusier.

Common as muck here in Dubai - horrible things to drive as they have really bad visibility.

If you think the baja has a daft name check out its predecessor :

The Brat was sold in the UK as a ' Shifter ' 2wd or ' MV ' 4wd

One of my favourite Italian cars, a shame they never really went further with that idea. A shame, in fact, that they never even finished building the Delta Integrales they had sitting in the factory when production stopped.
