▲ FROM THE TOP

DOME S-101#2
It continued running with no trouble.



The S-101#2 was completed its first run at Zandvoot circuit.


Our first S-101 which was completed its first run on March 8th and 9th, was shipped directly toward England on March 15th, and delivered to Team DEN BLA AVIS who works the racing management with M-Cube.
We had 3 days test program at Pembrey Circuit from March 28th . There was no trouble at basic components, however, it had the symptom that its oil pressure drops at left corner and also happened a little at recent test at TI circuit in Japan.
We've not found out the best setting because the car didn't run so long time with oil pressure problem. First of the test, we wondered whether the setting will be able to boiled down before the race, because Mr. Frank Copac who is the engineer of the racing team started the test program with the hardest spring.
The Team DEN BLA AVIS will hold a big launch in Denmark on April 3rd after the Test. And Their transporter will depart to Barcelona soon.
The oil pressure problem, it comes better gradually with our counter-plan.


Racing for Holland

The second S-101 for Racing for Holland led by Jan Lammers, was arrived at Schiphol Airport on March 24th not as a completed car.
With help by Dome's stuffs, they harried to assemble the car. The S-101#2 was completed its first run at Zandvoot circuit on April 3rd.
There were about eighty media people, inculuding television stuffs,watching the practice.
S-101#2 continued running with no trouble. So we could be evaluated highly.
At the launch, Jan said "Those each parts which were contained on the boxes at Schiphol Airport 10 days ago, were assembled like this, and all components move completely. I've never seen such a car! I have to say many thanks to Dome. There is no precedent for such a structure!" The launch was a great success with Jan's excellent speech and the VTR including the introduction of Dome.
The co-driver led by Jan, is Val Hilledrand who was active in the last season of German Formula 3.
