company based in Rivalta, near
Turin.
The 19 racing cars shipped included
those damaged in the pile up at the
start of Oschersleben’s Race 2: the
Lukoil Craft-Bamboo SEATs of Oriola
and Nash, Huff’s Leopard Racing
Volkswagen, Altoè’s WestCoast Racing
Volkswagen and the M1RA Honda of
Colciago. Most of them have been
repaired enough so that they can fit
into the containers, but they will be
stripped and rebuilt after the
delivery at Buriram. Only the Honda
was not repairable, which meant that
engine and gearbox had to be
removed from the wreck and installed
in a brand new car. This joint M1RA-
JAS effort was completed in less than
24 hours before the truck left
Oschersleben.
After the races in Thailand, the
containers will be trucked back to
Laem Chabang harbour from where
they will shipped to Shanghai and
subsequently sent by truck on the
250km drive to the Zhejiang
International Circuit. The provisional
dates for this leg are: September
11th - departure from Laem Chabang
and September 24th - arrival at
Shanghai.
