02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
Dome built the RC82 as a sports-prototype racer and entered it under the Dome name and with private teams. The chassis #01 car was entered at the 6 Hours of Silverstone in May 1982 and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 1982, and it retired from both.
It returned to Le Mans in June 1983 under Dome Racing, again retiring; an RC82i variant with Ford power retired there with a clutch failure. Results list a 1985 Hockenheim entry for chassis RC82-01 that did not start.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
The RC82 race entries list a Ford Cosworth DFL V8 of 3299 cc. The photo index also lists an 'RC82-01' with a Chevrolet 8000 cc V8 in class B, which conflicts with the Ford-powered entries and should be checked before identifying a car by its chassis number.
