Nice one Fran,

I hope the exposure has/will generate some deserved interest.

By the way, seasons greetings to you and yours.
 
This was mentioned on the PH forum though I didn't see it confirmed, NICE ONE FRAN.

Anyone who can get a kit car near Top Gear needs credit :D

So Fran, come on then, spill the beans, what time did it do around the track? Ultima have already set the bar quite high!

Also, BBC iPlayer.... in the US? Is someone being naughty ;)

When I raced in Britcar 24 Hours in the year when Top Gear joined in the fun (deisel BMW, Hampster crashed!) we got 1.5 seconds of prime time TV coverage! Can your Dad beat that? :)
 
I kept looking at that picture and couldn't figure out why it struck me as unusual. Then I realized its one of maybe 3 SL-Cs I've actually seen photographed that are complete AND moving on the road/track.
 
:2thumbsup: I'm sure there are. . . but my voracious appetite for pictures is no longer satiated by cycling through the images of the same 3-4 cars I've got stashed on my hard drive. PLEASE PEOPLE. . . MORE PICTURES. . . PLEASE!!!

How was the show? I've read mixed reviews from those that watched it via various electronic means. It'll probably air in the US sometime in 2014.

A few of our local folks were at the track that day and appeared at various segments. Was a blue/white striped 240Z shown? That is a friend of ours and NCR SCCA's RE, rex Deffenbaugh. However, with Top Gear and their commentary, you might not want to be visible for very long!

ArtGirl the yellow SLC comes to VIR about every time I'm up there for a non-SCCA event. They drive it on drive often and it seems successful, that is, they aren't wrenching on it to get out on track. It is under development, as is anyone's track car.

You can see the whole show on Youtube if you wish. Search for "top gear christmas part X" (X=1-6). The shot of the SLC is in part 3.
 
Gorgeous :thumbsup:

Now we only need to get it on the show and smoke everything on the leader board! :idea:

Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that will *ever* happen, if Ultima in the UK can't manage it, I doubt Fran will be able to swing it. With that being said Fran probably knows someone who works for the BBC ;)

It would be interesting to see it run on the track unofficially though like Ultima did.

Yea, I've heard Ultima has tried and tried with no success .... they just don't want to acknowledge cool cars I guess, hehe. Or, probably their argument is 'not an oem street car', lol ... just hey, Pagani is good enough for them so so should we :D
 
Now for an SL-C spec racer.............

MERRY CHRISTMAS Fran & Family...'case I don't talk to you until then..
