Hi,
No, but I wish it was. That's an original and was one of the competing cars. I really like the look though with the lamps and I'm seriously considering adding some to my Kirkham.

The Audis are very strong and quick, but the Peugeots have been giving them something to think about. If you've never heard a diesel race car, they sound very different to a petrol engined car and are very quiet. The Audis are almost silent apart from tyre roar and wind noise, but very, very quick.

If you get the chance to go, I would heartily recommend it.

Paul
