Marcos Maniacs

Hi guys,

some info from the netherlands about the Marcos cars shown in daytona,

I have spoken with some people about the laptimes,

cor or calum weren't driving the lm600, so that might explain 
the "slow laptime". I'll say, just wait and see.

The blue mantis use to race in the netherlands with a sequential 
gearbox and a tuned 4.6 ltr (400+ bhp), i'm not sure if they use this 
setup for daytona. 

The new Lm600 of cor euser are in his workshop and looking great. 
Obviously the reason for selling the other three cars.
