Last time I "paddocked" with them a crew member said the Duntov race car had been set aside to develope customer cars. Alan said they are swmped now because they have to build 4 cars to replace the loss, including two before the CoTA race in October. So insurance must have been in-place. Lucky for them.

I've never considered their product race cars, more like space ships, they're so damn fast....
Looks like they were already swamped with work before the fire....... I wasn't in the shop for more than about 15 minutes, but did get a real good look at the Duntov car and yes, it is a serious car!!!!!!! jokingly,I told the lady I didn't want the car, only what it cost to get it to the point it was in!!!!
