maxdfandan555 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 What was the story behind this? Were they planning to compete both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Richardson Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Spitfire was the original name. Due to copyright issues, they changed the name to Dragon's Breath. Same truck, different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Iron Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Truck was originally known as Spitfire and debuted at the wf9 encore. There were copyright issues so the truck was renamed Dragon's Breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Richardson Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Did you not see what I just said lol? Due to copyright issues, they changed the name to Dragon's Breath. EDIT: Fail. Put Spitfire instead of DB and vice versa, my bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavySonicShell Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The triumph spitfire, the plane, I think there was a movie... I'm not sure if these are right, but they are ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriotic Canadian Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 triumph spitfire hasn't been relevant since the seventies, and i'm fairly certain the copyright only extended to produciton cars and probably ran out years ago. Likewise for the Spitfire plane. that was only a nickname to begin with, and it's not a commercial trademark beyond models, reproductions and actual image likeness for movies and such. from what i remember it was some comic series named spitfire that was the offender, which is fine, since i like dragon's breath more anyway of course it's all moot now. Because obviously we have to have five el torro locos instead of a genuinely good scheme with a genuinely good driver behind it as an identity.

Dragon's Breath was amazing no doubt, and the fact it only ran for one year boils my blood but honestly Becky hasn't impressed me that much. To her credit I know this year she was taken from a much more state of the art CRD to an older Patrick chassis so a massive learning curve for her.
