OT: FIA Sportscars Nose jobs

Watching the Speedchannel/Speedvision coverage of this past summer's FIA Sportscars. The Dome cars look like they have taken the nose of a early 90's Williams F1 and put fenders on it. The Lola used to have a Terrible looking front end with a raised center that came to a tall edge...kinda like a 40's pickup truck with aerodynamics. But the Lolas have shaved off the tall portion and it looks more NORMAL now for a sportscar. The Ascari seems to have tried to sneak a front wing into the rules package The OLD OLD Riley & Scott and Ferrari 333sp's look unchanged from the old WSC days. But the Ferrari sounds wrong with that Judd engine instead of a screaming Ferrari. It's time for a real Sportscar endurance product. dave henrie

Still it's a nice break from stick and ball. I'm enjoying it.

Dave, I would agree. A Ferrari 333sp with a Judd engine is just wrong. Enzo is prbably rolling over in his grave. Chris G.

Well perhaps Enzo should pay Luca a visit late some night and "convince" him to build a new sportscar engine. Worked for Ebenezer Scrooge... ;-) SB PS - my vote's for the little Ascari. Much tidier looking than those formula-car-wannabe Domes. Better name, too! "cgenn27" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vyC68.39757$[email hidden]...

Considering the "Ferrari" 333sp was made by Delarra (sp?) 5 years ago, it's probably the best advertising the old man ever got ;) "cgenn27" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vyC68.39757$[email hidden]...
