Your attempt to beat me 3-0 failed, I'm afraid. Not a Dulon.

It was designed for a specific racing series. Not French.

Very close with the title. A small clue - the car was made in the UK but the race series was held elsewhere.

It happened, and today they are run in historic festival meetings. The series was instigated by a very well-known driver from a country which has produces a surprising number of successful drivers.

Locked for you. What was the model called, and what powered it?

Yes! One well-earned point to you. It's nice to have a fellow motor sport fan on AP.

I don't know much about this car, but apparently the race series was started by none other than Keke Rosberg, who I think was using it to find promising new drivers in Finland. I'm not sure if it ever travelled to other countries. The car was standardised as this Van Diemen with a Subaru EJ22 motor.

Sorry for bringing this old topic back to life ..... but as I just bought a couple of these cars - I´m searching for info.

Anyone have any idea where to search for info like productions stats, years, variations between years etc?
