| Re: FIA announcement
I have to agree with Chris and Chris above . We have a guy here in Australia who owns a "real" cobra (real is his rego number) and he get really pissed off when people ask him "which kit is it mate". I fully understand that he would not be pleased. The same guy has the best Lotus 23 "replica" that I have ever seen. It is a true replication or reincreation andd all that is missing is the chassis plate. The Lotus has been on display many times but I do not think it is allowed to be drive at Historic Meetings. I for one wish that the car was allowed on the track.
On that point there are Porsche 908, 910 and 917 replica's as well as Alfa F1 replica's here and again they are not allowed on the track except for display reasons.
If we can not see the real thing because they are so valuable that the owners will not risk them then a "TRUE" replica is just as good.
Best wishes to all,
Robert
