2009 Sports Car Season

[Keith]

I can't think why we haven't got a thread with this title, after all, it's more relevant to us than F1 (actually, almost anything is more relevant than F1 these days including my cat's hernia op)

Anyway, apologies if David M got there before me but...

Here it be! R15.

Seems to be a lot smaller..Debuting at Sebring 21st March.

A formula 1 car with mudguards!!!!

It's nearer to a formula one car than a GT40.

This is where it started more than a decade ago. If you want to compare F1 cars with Sports Cars, IMO this is the decade it was most relevant. To be honest, the Audi R15 looks like a truck by comparison with a contemporary F1 car, albeit a bloody fast one...

Semantics aside I was alluding purely to the fact that as GT40 fans, sports cars in general should be our primary (if not exclusive) interest.

BTW for those "F1" fans out there, in order - XJR11 and Peugeot 905B.
