2008 Dome S102<\/strong>\nPilots: D. Ito, T. Kataoka Y.i Tachikawa\nTeam: Dome Racing Team<\/em>\nRace: 33rd overall (LMP1 class) at Le Mans in 2008<\/strong>\nEbbro - 44094 (resin) <\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Designed as the successor to the S101<\/a>, the Dome S102<\/strong> debuted at La Sarthe in 2008. Developed in-house by Dome, the big differential of the new car was the closed-cockpit design. This new design allowed 9% less drag, consequently being 11% more aerodynamically efficient. Dome used the same style of monocoque chassis, yet this time it was a 100% carbon fiber affair. They also swapped the Judd GV4 engine for the newer and bigger GV5 S2 unit. The GV5<\/a> was a 5496 cm\u00b3 aspirated V10 that with 40 valves and DOHC produced 650 hp. Not only more powerful than the previous GV4, it was also lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like a test car, with so few sponsors – that’s the reality of small teams.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The car was ready only by March 2008, with barely enough time for Le Mans. Dome did manage, however, to do a shakedown at Spa, and the car lined up for the Le Mans test week in early June. As a works car, at test week the sole S102 classified in 11th. The race was a diesel battle, between the R10s and 908s, with the R10s taking the podium. S102 #11 finished in 33rd place, the last car to classify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beautiful – one of the best looking LMP1s of the W-143 Garage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In scale, it\u2019s a fairly nice model. I adore the lines of the real deal – to me the car looks fast, even standing still. Cars like this makes me long for the pre-shark fin era\u2026 But I digress, back to scale. Ebbro did a nice job replicating it in 1:43rd, and to my surprise, in resin! Detail wise it\u2019s a very \u201ccomplete\u201d model, but at least on mine decals could be a tad smoother. However, in the end, you get a not expensive model that\u2019s very nice, so a good buy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
