It's chassis #068 and belongs to Dan Watkins. Not sure about the 'paint work' portion of the story? There's a great little article about Dan and what he did over his summer vacation here. <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/wink.gif"></A> http://tinyurl.com/ykqnm75 Thanks for the snaps! <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/smile.gif"></A> >8^) ER
Nope I totally believed the paint work story because there are a few scratches and paint chips evident here & there.
If Dan was intending to have some work like that done on the car I'm certain the car would go back to the UK. Also, the F1 is headed to the track this week according to their latest Facebook update, so again I think you were told a story. >8^) ER
Oh I don't doubt that I was being BS'd since they were being kinda stand-offish not telling me anything about it & all... it just rang true w/ what I was seeing on the nose area of the car. <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/smile.gif"></A>

I'm not going to fuss with uploading the remaining preview scans from EVO here, but I can offer a set of links. Thanks for these again go to microsup! In total it is nearly 50 pages of amazing F1 content in one issue! I'm sure that I am not the only one here who can not wait to get a printed copy in my hands so I can really enjoy what they have put together here. <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/smile.gif"></A> Peter Stevens contributes http://img175.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010p1.jpg/ http://img33.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010p2.jpg/ http://img710.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010p3.jpg/ http://img6.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010p4.jpg/ Borrowing a ride to 200mph http://img138.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010ra1.jpg/ http://img227.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010ra2.jpg/ http://img217.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010ra3.jpg/ http://img197.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010ra4.jpg/ http://img571.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010ra5.jpg/ http://img532.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010ra6.jpg/ Nick Mason's GTR, the record speed runs, an owner speaks, and the forgotten McLaren road car http://img526.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010rr1.jpg/ http://img23.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010rr2.jpg/ http://img23.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010max1.jpg/ http://img200.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010max2.jpg/ http://img121.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010dh1.jpg/ http://img684.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010for1.jpg/ Comparing new to old, and contents pages. http://img12.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010mp1.jpg/ http://img411.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010mp2.jpg/ http://img441.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010mp3.jpg/ http://img228.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010mp4.jpg/ http://img36.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010co1.jpg/ http://img340.imageshack.us/i/evojuly2010co2.jpg/ Enjoy! >8^) ER
You were at SPA and you saw GTR #12R or you were at Silverstone and saw #22R. Either way I am looking forward to your photos. <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/smile.gif"></A> >8^) ER

I'm not so keen on the one of #01R with the flat rear tire. <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/wink.gif"></A> The rest are great - I just wish there were more. 21 cars can not be covered well by 9 photos, especially when about 5 of the photos are of a single car. >8^) ER

That may just be a case of the car being on the same set of tires it won Le Mans with (if we're speaking about the same car).
That may in fact be true, but they could (and should) still put some air in the tire - especially for a photoshoot like that one. <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/wink.gif"></A> >8^) ER
