Tom Coronel . . . very nice guy.

I see no rain here. Is this the same car?

Yes - it's the GTR720. Those pics were taken the day before attempt when testing. That was the day it threw a belt.

It rained after that, making an attempt on the record impossible.

The day in question that "The belt got threw" it was really quiet out on track and with the right kit he could have done it in the public session.

Spotted today at Ashby Folville -

i saw the facory car at folville and it does appear to be running kumho's.

[EdT]

Any news about attempt #2 ?

[Jetset Rich]

Good luck to Ultima next time - It'll be great if one British manufacturer takes the record from another!
Any more on the Sabine thread - I wonder what she thinks if she ever visits these pages?
She does dominate the ring

[Gary C]

Obviously its been raining at the ring for over three years now, can't rush a second attempt.

[Gary C]

Is it still raining at the ring then ?

Probably time to drop Ultima from the news list then.

Sabine could have done 7 seconds in the wet

I am going to take that as the dirtiest of innuendos sir

[Gary C]

Well, it has been another very wet year I suppose

[Gary C]

Wonder if it will get there this year ?

[spadgm]

Lets hope this year they can give it a go, love these cars!
