I love it! The headlights look great, I think the ACO will also agree, IMO this looks more roadcar-ish than most of the headlights used on prototypes... With a good livery this car's gonna be awesome, shame I won't get to see it in action this year...

I also think it's a stunning car, can't wait to see it, roll on Le Mans!
It would be interesting to get some laptime comparisons with the S101/101.5 (I know, hard to compare with the restrictor break et al, but it should be absolutely blitzing the old car if any of their 'performance' statements are to be believed). |

It looks as if its going to be blisteringly quick! Loving these coupes! Is the driver very small or is it higher in the roof line than the Lola?

I didnt want to be in anyway derogatory about our Asian cousins but I accept they arent as tall in general but as I didnt (and still dont) know who is driving, it just looks like the roof is higher than a Lola, and certainly higher than the EE!

Isn't the rest of the bodywork (side pods etc) very low, exaggerating the "visual" height of the cockpit? I don't see why they'd want to make it any higher than necessary...

Seriosly cool looking headlights.

However, there was no photograph of the completed car. But, Professor Hayashi said the name of their first driver. His name is Toshio Suzuki. He has been known about the chief test driver of Nissan-GTR. The record of Nissan GTR with Nürburgring is due to his drive. |

According to AUTOSPORT magazine, Tokai Univ's bell housing was designed by students.
The part is made by welding the steel board(not by casting). And, interestingly, the wind tunnel which they have used is former Dome's wind tunnel. |

This is starting to look really badass.
Altough the all-white livery doesn't do justice Last edited by deggis; 22 Apr 2008 at 17:39. |
