A few more out of the 800, so if I've duplicated one or two, well, hard luck. one Toyota (#8) went up in flames near the first chicane by the way.

Can't wait to see that Nissan Deltawing in action, it looks rather special.

What's the car with the large plain white vertical wing (and what's the technical name for that?)

The "nice working place" looks more like a very scary working place; "Hat keine Bremse" means "Has no brakes" yikes

That's the Dome (pronounced Dough-may I understand). The technical name is the dorsal I believe (so noth that technical) It is supposed to channel air over the rear wing to help keep it on the ground.

The delta wing hit a curb a bit hard during qualifying and I think it set off the extinguisher or caused some electrical problems so it stopped on track.
