I'd like to hear that whole story via PM..... Scott "Lil Bull" snapped a few of Mr. Risi's F40LM at the 599 Tour Party...where'd that rascal go, with that Nikon D60??? I PAID for that camera! LOL!
I would say that Roland's car is a custom made LM.... He didn't use original LM parts, but his car is certainly better than an original LM. Tubular Frame ,engine, gearbox, bodywork are original Ferrari Parts, he developped the car as a real LM racer....but he used different turbo and intercooler set-up. Some specific carbon fibers parts were also developed for this stunning car... And yes this F40 is back at roland's home....
Check out this link for more pictures, stories, and video of one of the few F50 GTs in existance. Also check out the rest of Doug Hayashi's site for some of the most entertaining stories about racing and Ferrari ownership I've yet found. http://nsxfiles.com/fontana_ferrari.htm
Roland is a great man, and his LM is a stunning machine...who cares if the car was build by michelotto or by anyone else. I'm nearly sure that his TR is on the way to his home too...
