    Default Adrian Newey selling his 288 GTO

    Mclaren F1 designer (or rather ex-Mclaren) Adrian Newey is selling his 288 GTO at the Bonhams Gstaad auction. A nice Christmas present for someone...

    See here http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/publi...&iSaleNo=13164 Some nice Ferraris to chose from including Albert Uderzo's (Asterix cartoonist and ex-Ferrari Club de France President) F40.

    If anyone cares, Newey also had a BB, but I don't know if he still has it.

    Newey is the master in modern race car design.

    Which team is he at now? And who's designing the new Mclarens?

    He has signed for Red Bull. I don't think Mclaren have hired any direct replacement, so I assume their new car will be designed by their existing team.

    Incidentally, Newey also races his GT40 from time-to-time.
