With those low profile 16" Michelins and carbon fibre bits, it'll really
look vintage!
Are "vintage" cars like "vintage" wines, where to become "vintage" you just
list the year of manufacture? Or do they need some aging to develop?
(Note: having written this bit of sarcasm, I apologize to all I offended.
However, racing cars like this is not, in my never humble opinion, vintage
racing. Neither is having an event like HSR Savannah with 45 incidents, as
was reported here recently. I am truly perturbed......)

All generalizations, with the possible exception of this one, are false.
