Just got back from a track day, where hundreds of supercars (New and old) were available to drive, Felt like a dog in forest!

Er, wot?

He couldn't decide which one to piss on.

Oh. Right. Ok.

Last weekend at Spa was this dramatic looking car.

I have no idea what it was other than it had a Brabham engine. Despite the racing numbers, it wasn’t competing, otherwise I could have looked it up in the program.

Can anyone tell me anything about it please?

Marcos Mantis Le Mans car. 1968 IIRC.

Marcos Mantis XP I think

[DickyC]

One of the Marcos Le Mans cars was a really ungainly thing. It looked as if the nose was missing. I'll have a fish about and see if I can find anything.

No it wasn't, it was a Piper. Apologies.

Thanks for the information!

It looked pretty amazing last weekend, but it must have seemed like a spaceship in 1968!

No photos as I was driving, but spotted this actual car on the M25 around lunchtime today.

[Doofus]

Not my photo, but I've just seen what I think is this very car in an hotel car park in France.

Sounded mad when the engine fired up. At 7am...

[Moley RUFC]

What a cracker! If in France it really should be doing continuous loops of the Le Mans circuit.

[Doofus]

It was about 200km from Le Mans but could be en route.

[McAndy]

I absolutely love a Viper. On my lottery winning shopping list, no doubt!

The wheel / tyre ratio makes it look very serious.

No photos I’m afraid as I was driving solo, but I saw a convoy of at least five McLarens heading clockwise on the M60 just after the Trafford Centre. Saw a 720s, a couple of GTs, a 650S and a rather nice Papaya 675LT.

Nice to see on a rainy Manchester day. Anyone on here? Or anyone who knows where they were heading?

There will be better photos & more cars tomorrow, Friday when the official gathering takes place before a run over the Mountain section of the TT course but thought I'd share these images from my evening tour with my loyal companion:

Saw this interesting bunch in a Monaco car park earlier this week. Wonder how long they've been down there?

The modern GT40 in Gulf oil colours, looked particularly nice!

Look a bit Russian, so they might be staying down there for a little while yet!
