Cars that were built but never raced

Well, the Zeta was definitely unlucky not to have made it onto the grid.

I think that's the car that Max modeled his F1 budget-capped grid after!

Should be no problem fielding a whole grid for under 30 million!

Just found this Dome testing Suzuka 1997

Who was the test driver?

[Powered by Cosworth]

Marco Apicella I think, he did pretty much all the testing from what I remember and what it says somewhere on that site

[tsarcasm]

I have this book from Veloce "Unraced" regarding modern cars

DAMS GD-01 1995
Dome F105 1996
Lola 1997 (mastercard)
Honda RC__ cars 1999 (Harvey Postlethwaite)
Toyota TF101 2001 (w/v12)
McLaren MP4/18 2003


of note the MP4/18 was great, but too fragile.

also Honda would have been competitive 10 years ago had they implemented Harvey's cars. they decided to polish a turd, tyrrell....

Honda engineers also built a couple of F1 cars as an after hours project while they were supplying McLaren back in the early 90s, they were so uncompetitive that they merely showed the difficulty of designing a whole F1 car from scratch. Can't remember what they were called thouhg.
