Hello ,I am Dominique and I am from LaFayette's Country :Auvergne .... in France .
When I was child , I modified small diecast cars dreaming to built racing cars. At time ,1965.... 1974 , I was following ,first :MATRA Sports ,and ..... a small american team :PENSKE RACING (strange for french boy ?),and ELF Team Tyrrell . Have you seen ? All there cars were BLUES , I call that ;the "Blue Spirit". At school I learn engineering to work ,later , in motor racing . In 1978,.... I do. During 17 years I work in several teams in France and in Europe ,in F3 , F1 , F3000 , with many drivers well known in the world :Ph Alliot ,M Baldi ,Th Boutsen , Ph Sreiff , O Larrauri ,R Arnoux ,S Johanson , E Collard , .... and several car builders :Martini ,Lola , Euroracing-March ,Reynard ,Ralt , Ligier , .... After I stop to run all around the Europe and the World ,during 10 years ,I was the GATES 's french drawing office manager and we work with constructors :Matra, Lotus ,Porsche ,Renaut ,Peugeot , .....
I am sorry for my "Worldish" (an amalgam of Irish-Scotish-Ausi-Kiwi-American-and rest of the world English).
Now ,I work in my little worshop and rebuilt few racing cars and after ,at home ,...... Racing car models (Penske's cars ,but not only single seaters): The problem is ,now ,I can no more built them like when I was teenager .
