The Badger · 12 Mar 2007, 19:15 (Ref:1864930)

Any more pics dragaan please ?

Shame Rollcentre arnt at Sebring !!!

Félix · 13 Mar 2007, 17:24 (Ref:1865690)

Just a very rapid shot at the Rollcentre Pescarolo livery... Probably takes a bit too much of the focus away from the sponsor but I think it looks nice. I guess we'll see the real thing soon anyway, and we know the way it's painted is not what really matters in the end...

The Badger · 13 Mar 2007, 17:52 (Ref:1865710)

Now , thats nice !!! Bet it will look better in the flesh .

dj choc ice · 13 Mar 2007, 18:23 (Ref:1865737)

thats better, bit of green on it its now properly nice

Hammerdown · 13 Mar 2007, 19:34 (Ref:1865792)

Is that avery big car or has the driver been miniaturised!

The Badger · 13 Mar 2007, 19:38 (Ref:1865800)

The driver has Martin Shorts helmet on ..... Short driver , but Shortie aint that small !!!

**Bentley03** · 22 Mar 2007, 22:53 (Ref:1874067)

DSC have an update on the sale of the Rollcentre Radical.........it's still for sale!

I'm frankly astonished! Seems DAMAX have been unable to find the funds. Shorty has, however, got three fully funded drivers lined up for Le Mans should a buyer not be found before then (so the invite for the race will definitely be taken up).

You've heard of push-to-pass!?

Well this is the new Push-to-not-get-passed!

Driver is the right size but when you push the button the car expands so your opponent can not pass you.

L.P.

I've changed my mind!

Having now seen numerous pics from the Test Days I think the livery looks stunning!

Moreover, judging by the number of laps completed over the two days together with the laptimes, the car is clearly reliable and the Dunlops are working very well. Martin must be very pleased (so far!).

is that the system model on Scalextric's Racer system, wherein they shoot off for 10 laps, then slow their pace to the same as everyone elses so that they don't look too fast?

There was an article in Autosport, I think, staying Adrian Newey wanted to do LeMans this year and was trying to get an entry in a reserve Ferrari GT2. Perhaps Mr Short should give him a call to see if he wants to run the radical?

The Badger · 28 Mar 2007, 17:22 (Ref:1878533)

God no ..... we want some fast drivers in the Radical Mal !!!

first and foremost, though we want to make sure it is there. However with Mr Newey's reputation it may not survive past the first chicane

The Badger · 28 Mar 2007, 20:45 (Ref:1878689)

I would much prefer to see the PSI C6R with decent drivers in it that a slow SR9 ..... imo .

I cant see any sparks flying from Aucott-Macari-Newey Ferrari 430 ..... can you ?

The Badger · 29 Mar 2007, 14:40 (Ref:1879236)

There's a nice pic of the Rollcentre Pesca on end-info ..... lovely pic . Their color's are certainly starting to grow on me now !!!

But martin , can we please have green mirrors and maybe a green roll hoop .....or Green wheels !!!

TheNewBob · 29 Mar 2007, 15:22 (Ref:1879250)

Don't ask me why, but I think the rollcentre car happens to look really nice from this angle, as well as from the front:

is that the joe macari who spun 5 times or whatever at FIA GT silverstone in 2005?

The Badger · 29 Mar 2007, 20:24 (Ref:1879448)

Same dude .

**Bentley03** · 2 Apr 2007, 23:11 (Ref:1882357)

Just wanted to say how sad I am to see Martin step aside from his driving duties. I can (sort of) understand why, and I'm sure Stuart will do a first class job for the team. But somehow Rollcentre won't quite feel the same without Shorty doing his stint(s) at the wheel...........

The Badger · 3 Apr 2007, 06:34 (Ref:1882455)

I always thought that Shorty did his bit well ..... big brave move to let another man drive in his place .....

I wonder if Embassy do the deal to run the SR9 at LM , might there be a seat for Shorty alongside Hughs-Cunningham ?

AstonGeoff · 3 Apr 2007, 07:06 (Ref:1882463)

Yes indeed, a sad day to hear the news, but I'm sure Shorty will be back in a car somewhere soon, I did hear that he might be driving one of his Moslers in a couple of BGT races, which would be great for the series.

I hope the new line-up works well and gives them a shot at LMS race wins this year, roll on Monza! I feel an afternoon sat watching Motors TV coming on!

Good news tho that he has managed to sell the SR9, we'll have to wait and see if Embassy want to run it at LM under the Rollcentre banner.

The Badger · 3 Apr 2007, 12:16 (Ref:1882660)

Im sure they will !!! or sell the seats anyway .
