1997 Van Diemen RF97 Widetrack

[Goallie11]

SOLD

It's time to sell my car as I move to my next one. A lot of work has been done under my ownership to get it into the best mechanical condition it's been in for a long, long time. It runs and drives great, whoever buys it will have a great car to race!

Edit: I am 6'1 and about 180 lbs and fit perfectly comfortable in the car. It does have an extended roll hoop to allow much taller drivers to fit, the shift knob has been extended forwards, and it seems to have a widened cockpit, compared to other 1997s I've sat in.

The car is race ready! I just raced it this weekend, 7-22-23.

I'm having trouble uploading pictures, the set is available here, listed individually below: https://imgur.com/a/J66BAD0
