I remember 15 years ago when this thing was getting carted around to shows and stuff, just as an empty shell, billed as a project designed to get kids into engineering and STEM subjects.

It didn't really excite me then, and it still doesn't now. IMO it won't be exciting until it actually physically breaks some records.

I still enjoy the fact that one of the early versions of the car had a Jaguar AJ V8 4.2 in as a kind of "starter motor" for the main engine. I had an XF with that engine in and it was glorious.

Looks and sounds almost like a well produced scam. What driver will roll up with that sort of change in his pocket?

Max Verstappen????

Max Verstappen????

I thought it was a British attempt?

Well he is Belgian but claims to be Dutch. We have British Football teams but they are full with foreign nationalities and managers.

right now I think they'd take a Frenchman if he has the money

I'm guessing those involved are still expecting to draw stupid salaries as "engineers " ? This stuff used to be voluntary...
