Is the new Rilley & Scott any good?
The C is a niffty looking piece, but not seting the world on fire in ALMS the failure that was Cadilac, I have questions as to the ability of the R&S to produce a substiute for the MIII.
Is it true the old car was faster than the new at the recent test in Sebring? Is the new any good? |

well I think you need to take into account a number of things.
when the -C raced at Sebring it was very very new. The circuit was a bit different the weather was substantially better. add this all up and you might get a quicker time |

Dyson have sold their car to Robinson, and are now looking to purchase an Audi R8 (possibly even two).
From what I have heard, they ultimately weren't happy with the progress made with the car, and the drivers complained that it was one of the most demanding cars to drive - so much so that they found it physically almost impossible to doublestint. A shame - I like the looks of that car. |

I ran into butch Lietzinger (sorry about the spelling Butch) at the recent Daytona historic and GrandAm races at Daytona. He was in the Classis Auto Impressions tent eyeballing a 1/43 Bentley Speed 8 handbuilt. He turn to his father and says "When is Christmas, Dad?"
He is just a super guy. We talked a little models and his stunning outside pass on Wayne Taylor at Mosport. It was on the downhill off camber turn three, a corner Jackie Stewart has labeled as "the world's most dangerous turn." Oh, yeah, he overtook him on the OUTSIDE. Anyway, he just smiled and acted like it wasn't a big deal. He seems utterly unaware that he is probably America's best sportscar racer. He reminds me a little of Buddy Lazier, who is one of my top three heros. The other two are Alex Zanardi and, of course, Brian Redman. Anyway, he tells me that the new R&S doesn't respond to changes in set up at all. I could tell he hates it. But if he gets an Audi, the Joest team had better get McNish back. |
