Not strictly speaking true. McLaren used unliveried papaya-coloured Formula One cars for testing purposes with Coulthard and Hakkinen on the MP4/1'2 in 1997. This was inbetween them losing Marlboro sponsorship and taking West onboard.

Murray - The same was true this past year as well:

One could argue though that test cars are not race cars. There's always a technicality...

No.........But he would like to Just ask Mr Bridger!!

Hi there,

No the owner does not drive in the LMES series, he is just an avid spectator. He was at Donington in the summer of 2006 in the McLaren and then again in September in his Ferrari Enzo.

The F50 by the way belongs to one of his friends and was at Donington on both occasions.

The 2007 LMES race has been moved to the Silverstone circuit and I am not sure if the owner of 16R will be attending or not. The Enzo is now up for sale so hopefully he will be out and about at Donington again this year with his new toy. This should be arriving in March / April time.

He does post on here and will probably be along soon to say hello.

Regards

I corrected the thread title to help prevent further confusion.
