So nice to get to see the Dome again!, that car was to good to be sitting in an museum already!.
But what is better with this, is to see that the economic crisis, doesn’t hit Motorsport as hard as feared!
Will their new Dome S102 coupe have a Judd V-10? Michelin tires? LMS and Firestone Indy Lights are among the few series with great news for 2009.
does any one know who will bee driving the car
Accoring to Japan’s Sports-car racing.net, two of young Italian who have linked with the team are supposed to drive the coupe. And the web also mentioned that S102 will have Judd V10 and Michelin rubber.
Dome’s season-appearance is so nice. Dome will add spice to LMS and to be star of Asian Lemans Series. I hope we can really see them at Asian series on Nov.
does any one know what rounds the car will race in america
