Summary

Manthey M700. The test drive was passed up given the bodywork risk. Also mentions Manthey's and Zakspeed's records in the Nürburgring 24 Hours.

Original description — as written at the time

Today, or rather yesterday, there was a chance to try the Manthey Racing MANTHEY M700 at Fuji Speedway, but the risk of a 40 million yen bodywork bill was a bit much, so I decided to pass. Manthey Racing, along with Zakspeed, is one of the famous racing teams among the race workshops around the Nürburgring; since 2000 both Zakspeed and Manthey Racing have each won the Nürburgring 24 Hours.

本日というか昨日FISCOにてマンタイレーシングのMANTHEYM700に試乗できる可能性があったが4000マソ・・・・の板金代のリスクは結構無理だったので遠慮することにする。マンタイレーシングはニュルブルックリンク周辺のレース工場でもザックススピードと並ぶ有名なレーシングチーム2000年以降ザックススピードもマンタイレーシングもそれぞれニュルブルックリンク24時間の覇者となっている。
