Of course the logistics (possibly also ethics) of that situation happening is a completely different thing, I just like imagining bizarre scenarios like that. |

They did well to have gone as far as they have, just hope they can achieve something with the cars this year before they are sold on

And purchaser will have to commit to racing it not collecting dust under a cover. Although does an unraced racer car really appreciate in value?

I never said that I think Toyota will close their program. The interviewer did. Toyota is a great company and a great competitor. They want to win. So do we.. it's up to the FIA to make a fair BOP and I believe they will.

Congrats on the new sponsor, and Jim, PLEASE, let's have a selection of merchandise available at Le Mans this year, your fans need a uniform! Searched everywhere at Le Mans last year, but nothing, so ended up buying quite a fetching little Alpine number instead. |

I do enjoy his reviews, a true enthusiast. I am glad there is a publication who values his work

I always disliked this kind of communication... if you want to promote your car, just promote your car. Comparing it with another car, you're automatically giving away some of the identity of the car you're trying to promote...
there is a reason if at example when porsche promoted 918hybrid, just focused on showing 918 features instead or release statements telling that 918hybrid had regen brake unlike mclaren p1... |

Because as said, he's trying to promote his car speaking about another car. So at the end, what did he actually write about his car? That he arbitrarily thinks his car is the new f40 and that his car can run full power as long has enough fuel to burn, such a shocking new for a not hybrid car...

To take the manufacturers you mentioned, McLaren first made its name by pitting itself against Ferrari specifically, and making lots of noise about it's favourable figures, even though they were already well-known for the F1 (and their exploits in F1). Now that they're established as a major player in the performance road car market, they don't have to do it. Porsche had no reason to refer to the P1 or LaFerrari with its 918 because of its decades of brand recognition. Glickenhaus doesn't have that yet. Quote:
