It's got to be Nissan who are interested in this car.
Who else fits the profile, i.e. a major manufactuer who doesn't necessarily have the set-up to build an LMP, unlike, for instance, Toyota or Honda. |

...this might be very left field, but when I read in the original thread the bidtabout gaining interrest of a big manufacturer, my fist thought was chevy (corvette) and not nissan, esp. as an earlier involvement of the same maufacturer was mentioned by one guy here....

http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-09-27-019.jpg T-710 was the Corvette GTP. 810 the Nissan (original circa 1985--of course there would also be the Group C Lola-Nissans later on). |

The photograph was simply to make the link between Lola and manufacturers - not a specific manufacturer.

A Mid-Engine Corvette? Never.

Yes, I do remember the mid-engine concepts, but I mean it'll never make it to production.

From what I've seen, the Corvette GTPs had various designations as the years went on. T710, T86/10, T87/10, and T88/10 all appear to have been used as the Corvette GTP. Lew Price's car was a T711.

Brand recognition doesn't have to come from relating the racecar with the product. Recognition comes from knowing the brand name in your subconsciousness. P1 has more media coverage.

Japanese cars, except for the Datsun Z history, are considered grocery getters, first, last and always. The former GTP victories are remembered by racing historians and damn few others. Bob Last edited by Bob Riebe; 6 Mar 2007 at 20:59. |

I think that is the only picture of the "B10/10" or whatever they called it. The Lola article on DSC says it's only a very preliminary sketch.
