MARCOS AT DAYTONA 24

MARCOS AT DAYTONA 24

2002-01-08 by gtcoastie

Hi all,

Looks like MARCOS is preparing another assault on the Rolex 24 Hours 
of Daytona.  Apparently there will be three cars this year; 2 
Mantaras and an LM600.  Go to www.rolex24.com and check out the 
testing session photos.  You'll see a light blue Mantara in left hand 
drive (blasphemy!).

Qualifying is Jan 31/Feb 1 with the race Feb 2/3.  Is anyone going 
this year?  As I've recently been transferred to Washington DC, I'm 
afraid I'll have to miss the race this year.  Although I haven't 
confirmed it, Speedvision offered flag to flag coverage of the race 
last year.  I'm praying they'll do the same this year.

Regards,
Tad

Blasphemy??? How could you? My Marcos is and always has been left hand
drive. We can all thank Henry Ford for realizing the virture of shifting our
seating over to the left instead of our wrong side.

Hi Dave,

No disrespect whatsoever intended toward left hand drive Marcii. I 
have simply never seen a racing Marcos with the wheel anywhere but 
the right side. To me, it adds to the British mystique on the race 
track.

Okay Tad
I do like my LHD. It makes other people wonder where the car is from.

RE: [MarcosManiacs] MARCOS AT DAYTONA 24

2002-01-10 by Jeff Caraway

That's very cool news!
I find it kind of interesting that the LM600 is homologated (till 2006)
even though the main factory is gone.
I also find it interesting that Marcos is homologated and the major
competitor TVR is no where to be found.
Wonder if they are going to run at Lemans as well?
 
I wish I could make it down there, but I'll have to rely on good old
Speedvision as well.
Go Marcos!

Mark Saxby's site has a 1/7/02 update on the practice sessions 
under "Latest News".  Looks like initially they are slower than last 
year!  Hopefully that will improve.
