Greg,

#26R is owned by BMW Mobile Tradition in Germany and is in LeMan spec.No 42.

The chassis in your pics is in FIA GT spec #21R.

Nice find btw.

We have what is believed to be #21R in the pics in this thread, #26R is the BMW Tradition car (and we know both wore #8) and #23R wore #9.

Judging by what drivers are on the doors, #21R states Lehto and Soper, #23R states Kox and Ravaglia and #26R shows Lehto & Soper (as per the BMW mobile Tradition car)here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=573286))

(Edited to make sense in future posts ;))

Hsu owns the #8 Fina GTR chassis #21R. BMW owns #26R, which wears the #42 Fina livery. There's also a chassis plaque picture of 26R when BMW brought it out. 26R has belonged to BMW Motorsport since it was delivered (iirc) whereas 21R has changed hands a few times.

Correct me if I am wrong, but #21R is now the ex Aaron Hsu GTR.

That GT40 (LBL 505D)? in the rear of the garage, is Ray Bellm,s!!

So Aarons Hsu's (ex)car is the same as in the pictures, collaborating the picture of the suspension set up.

21R wears #8 and is in these pics
23R wears #9
26R wears #42 and is the BMW tradition car (courtesy of aforementioned chassis plate) :runaround:

That man has TOO much money :), mind you it'd make a nice stable mate if it turns out to be true that he also owns a roadcar

I've asked if Marek knows the owner / driver of the car on the day, i'll let you know if I hear anything..... :thumbsup:

I have just been advised, by another new friend who will be lucky enough to drive #21R in 3 weeks as well as 3 Maseratis (!) that a German, Petler Glaesel - a racer and collector mainly of historic ferraris - now owns #21R that was shown at the Nurburbring on the Modena Trackday, and bought it from out of a Bankrutpcy in the USA!......

Seriously...Wesley Snipes' house was repo'd here in Florida. It sold at auction for $750k even though it was worth $2.5mm+. Lake front as well as in front of the driving (golf) range. Did I mention your only neighbor is Tiger Woods?

Hello Greg,

I hope since I know he would like to do Silverstone race but he couldn't :(
Unhappily, his "friend" on a french forum doesn't answer the second PM :(

I wonder which cars will be there. there is no list on the website...

#21R also received a specially modified roll cage to make sitting in that passenger seat just a bit more comfortable. Check it out...

Although the standard Mclaren F1 is a three seat car the GTR variant for racing retains only the central driver's seat. The standard roll cage uses part of the space normally allowed for passengers. The current owner of this car wanted to be able to carry passengers occasionally and to be able to race. The right hand seat space is taken up with electronics which could not easily be moved so ARRC were tasked with designing a new cage which would allow for passengers in one form and revert to racing layout in the other.

This picture taken part way through the build shows the "passenger" version with the upright bar absent and a wider spaced back brace to allow for the passenger head and shoulders. The racing variant looks more like the other side with a straight back brace and an upright. Changeover involves undoing a few bolts, swapping tubes and replacing the bolts.
The front bars from the main loop forward and then down by the a-pillars are not fitted in this picture.
