[QUOTE=ianl,Feb 19 2008, 08:11 PM] Fortunate indeed!

What is going on with the orange hose thingy on the right-hand side behind the exhaust?

I hope thats not a fuel line, that might explain a fire or two

No it's not a fuel line, but has touched the exhaust at some stage, they are tied back now.

One lucky guy ! I'd love to have a go on that track, let alone in one of those !

Met Klaus once at a Evo day and had the experience of being driven round Snetterton in his -

An excellent driver and no doubt Phil Bennett was too !

Yes Klaas has the T1 sideways on the way into the first corner on a hot lap (just where it is marked Track 1 on the map)

What I did learn was that Klaas named the KZ1 after himself (Klaas Zwart).

Most impressive... I'm not a little jealous!
