Im going to be careful because i don't have too much Dolomite experience and we all have different opinions.
This is all mostly down to developement.
I did, with no previous experience, a trackday in my Dolomite at Silverstone back in march of this year and the Dolly ran very well indeed. Yes it all started off slow but this was because or all the negative stuff i had read or had been told over a period of time.
I very nearly didn't bother.
The car was pushed harder and harder as the day went on until my smile could get no bigger.
Yesterday at Lydden in the Post Historics there were 3 Sprints, running second third and fourth behind a V12 Jag but infront of Chevolet Camaros an Avenger GT, Ford Escorts, Cortinas, Capris etc.
Lets not forget it was a Sprint that qualified on pole ahead of the Jag.
I have followed this type of racing for many years and the Dolomite is still considered a serious contender, it has for many years held its own against most machinery of this era.
Don't listen too much to what you hear or read, go by your own experiences.
Get out there and support our racing Dolomites and see for yourself just how good they can be. They are a very capable machine indeed.
