Ha.

Wasn’t there once an R8 running in an historic race which it was still racing in a current modern series? Or have I imagined that.

R8 stopped in 2006? That sounds like a dp shenanigan.

Travis Engen has the US based R8, built from an older chassis and with Champion sourced spares. Or so the story goes. He's been in Europe running with Masters Enduro, returns to US tracks next week at Road Atlanta Fall Historics. With some competition in the ESM DPi, oh and 4 LMP3 Ligiers, 4 LMPC and one DP02 Lites car.
