Throughout the
course of the day, we took a very close look at the cars and asked a lot of
questions. Here are some of the things we were able to see and learn. |
2002 SC1 The 2002 SC1 very closely resembled the yellow coupe
from last year's One Lap. A few important improvements were made from what the team
learned during last year's events. |
