Default db1's

Are people still racing their DB1's or have they been shelved with the RB6 coming out?

Why would they not race them! You do not see many for sale. I will admit though that I have found mine a bit of a handfull in the wet/greasy conditions. This has been really easy to resolve. I bought an RB6. Well!! It had to be done. Problem solved. I know of other drivers that have done the same, with the knowledge that come the dry high grip weather, the DB1 will be back to the fore. Granted not everyone is able to afford this luxury. I wouldn't mind betting that the few who have sold ther DB1's have maybe not been in the position of justifying 2x2wd cars. I am also aware of someone selling their DB1 then regretting it, and wanting to get another.
However, there are at least 2 recent new owners of DB1's at my club, and am not aware of any other members seling theirs.
Mine is all ready to race as soon as the grip returns.
