Dario911 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
What's the vanished manufacturer would you like to see reborn?

Motorsport history is full of glorious manufacturers, vanished due to budget or technical troubles. Some of them have a great history, full of successes and wins. I love at the same way of the Porsche the Matra. It has been a real star in motorsport, winning everything and everywhere in its only 10 years long competition history.
Le Mans, World Sportscars Manufacturer Challenge, F2 and F1 Championships... Matra has won everywhere, against some of the most important teams, such as Porsche, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo...
I feel homesick when I think to its wonderful cars: MS620, MS630, MS650, MS660, MS670 and MS680 have been some of the more beautiful and most winning cars in motorsport. It's a crime that Matra is not here, to fight against its old rivals!
Matra has won in F1, only 5 years after made one's debut in motorsport, against Ferrari, McLaren, Tyrrel, March; three times Le Mans winner, two WSC titles...
It should be wonderful to see the new "La bande de fous" in Le Mans 24 Hours, battling against Audi, Peugeot, Aston Martin, Pescarolo, Oreca. It would be a dream to see a new incarnation of the mythical MS670B to battle in LMS or ALMS with other modern P1.
This is my greatest motorsport dream: to see Matra reborn.
Is this just a dream? I would hope not!
And what's the manufacturer would you like to see on the scene again? Is there one? Why?
