12R is back in the UK
19R is Kevin Crowder's in Texas I believe.
21R is Peter (or maybe Christian?) Glasel's car now.

I think 14R was written off following the Japan GT series crash at Sugo in 1996 that supposedly caused heavy damage to the tub, making the 'M66 MCL' car 15R instead.

I'm not in front of my own computer right now. If I think of anything else I will add it later.

I should have added that I think 04R is also gone. In 1995 it had a heavy crash and the Gulf team had to replace the car with 08R to finish out the season. The poster included with Driving Ambition claims that 04R stood in for 14R at the last race of the Japan GT series in 1996 at the Mine Circuit. I highly doubt that information is accurate and instead believe that it was most likely #08R that fulfilled the role, later becoming the West-liveried "Adrenaline Program" car.

#02R participated in a couple of events in the British GT Series - I think in 1998 maybe. I can confirm when I get back home. That's the last time it was seen that I recall.

08R is in Bahrain (oops) - I'll add the current owner's name later on.

Some more updates and comments:

02R - this GTR last appeared in the 1996 BRDC GT Series: Rd1 - Silverstone (DNF); Rd2 - Donington (1st); Rd3 - Brands Hatch (3rd); Rd4 - Donington (2nd); Rd5 - Thruxton (4th); Rd6 - Snetterton (8th); Rd7 - Oulton Park (3rd); Rd8 - Silverstone (2nd).

At each event the drivers were Ian Flux (GB) and Jake Ulrich (USA) with the car being prepared and entered by Lanzante Motorsport. At most of the events it wore the Blue/Yellow livery in a similar to the short tail Gulf GTR's paint schemes in '95 & '96, with the exception being the Silverstone race at the end of the year where it wore the special "Lloyds of London" livery in Blue/White with white wheels.

There is one tiny pic that has surfaced of it since then wearing all blue paint with the yellow wheels, but no graphics. It appears the rear spoiler had either been removed or simply cropped from the photo. Not sure when/where that image was taken, however, I bet someone with the last name Lanzante would know more about the car's current whereabouts. Anyone have their number handy? :D

= = = = = =

07R - I'd call it "MIA" since it hasn't been spotted anywhere in about 3 years. I think the last time someone knew where it was was around July 2004 when Duncan Hamilton had it up for sale. Our old friend tvrfreak had taken some pics of it there in January as well.

= = = = = =

08R - The current owner is Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince of Bahrain. What a name! in some instances you will see him referred to more simply as "Sheikh Salman" which is how I have labeled the folder on my PC. ;)

On his Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_bin_Hamad_bin_Isa_Al_Khalifa) it mentions:

The Crown Prince also spearheaded a major national initiative to bring Formula One racing to Bahrain and the Middle East. H.H. initiated the construction of the Bahrain International Circuit, which was a national objective for Bahrain, and a miraculous feat of engineering. On April 4th 2004, the Bahrain Grand Prix made history as the first Formula One Grand Prix to be held in the Middle East, featuring a world class grand prix circuit.

I do note from my info that we still assuming that car is 08R, I don't believe it has yet been confirmed. I'd be extremely surprised if that assumption was incorrect though.

= = = = = =

17R - This one used to be stored and prepared by Tom Milner's company, PTG Racing, in Winchester, Virginia for BMW USA. I am not sure where it lives now that PTG has severed their ties with BMW and is no longer campaiging BMWs in any racing series, however, I am sure it is still around. I think the most recent sighting was at an event in Canada and prior to that it appeared at the 2007 Amelia Island Concours in Florida held in March. I'll have to ask Stephan Bauer what event the car was at in Canada next time I see him online - maybe it wasn't even Canada.

= = = = = =

18R - I would label it (and 26R) as being kept at the BMW Mobile Tradition Museum in Germany with occasional outings to represent BMW Motorsport's history at various motoring enthusiast events. 18R's last trip to Goodwood was in 2005 - I am not sure if it has been out to play since then, but I have nothing to prove that it was.

= = = = = =

19R - Proper spelling of the owner's last name is Crowder, not Crowther.

= = = = = =

21R - Let's go with Christian Gläsel since that is who Octane credited with ownership of the car in their recent article. Christian is Peter's son so maybe they share it or maybe it was a birthday gift. :dunno:

= = = = = =

26R - I think the last time was shown was in Sept 2006 for the 100th FIA GT race celebrations at Dijon in France. Prior to that it was at an BMW Motorsports event held in conjunction with the Malaysian Grand Prix in March 2006.

= = = = = =

That's all I've got for now... :2cents:

To really make this list a lot like the others we are keeping on the regional fleets it could use some photographs. I am of course happy to help out with that if you want my assistance.

I'm running out the door and will take a better look later on. Skimming through it I only spotted one issue so far. You have the same pic for the 11R and 18R Hollywood liveries. The pic for 18R is correct, but this was 11R's look for the Brazil races:

Here's a slightly better image of the ZERO livery for GTR #25R:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/th_p4_big.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/p4_big.jpg)

Here's the slightly different version of the Orange/Black that it wore at Silverstone in 1996:

Peloton25

09-24-2007, 11:20 AM

There were two longtail GTRs that wore the LARK livery in 1997. It's not always obvious that there were two, as both cars wore race number 44 in the two different events they competed in.

Chassis #27R wore it at the 1997 24 Hrs of LeMans. Drivers were Keiichi Tsuchiya, Akahiko Nakaya and Gary Ayles. The car did 88 laps and failed to finish.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20E/th_FGT97036.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20E/FGT97036.jpg)

Chassis #19R wore it at the Pokka Suzuka 1000km race on August 24th 1997. The car was entered by Team Lark McLaren & Team Goh with Keiichi Tsuchiya, Masanori Sekiya, Akihiko Nakaya doing the driving. They finished 9th overall.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20E/th_B000997.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/McLaren%20F1%20E/B000997.jpg)

The easiest way to spot the difference in photos is that tobacco advertising in motorsports had been banned by 1997 in Japan, so 19R featured a lined out (or in some instances, blocked out) LARK logo instead. Also, at LeMans 27R had a "Warsteiner" windshield banner and race number decals, with "BMW Japan" on the rear wing. At Suzuka 19R's windshield banner said "BMW Japan" the race number decals were plain and the top of the wing was blank.

EDIT: This post is not my best work - see below for clarification. :)

I didn't have any pics in my #24R folder with these 2 liveries, but after you posted this I did a search on motorsport.com, and saw #24R ran as number 42 (perhaps I thought it to be chassis #26?) at Le Mans with Soper, Piquet and Llehto, tallying up with what is on QV500. I also found the Davidoff / Day Off / Gulf liveried #24R on racingsportscars.com; again I thought this to be another chassis. Cheers for that, I'll add those pics now

Another BMW livery to add Greg,

Not sure of the chassis # :shakehead (YES THATS CORRECT, EVEN I DON,T KNOW) this is only the second pic of this 96 GTR I have seen. Very similar to BMW,s 95 (end of) promo chassis 08R, so it is pos, 16 17 or 18 R. The pic may have been taken on the BMW, Geneva motor show stand early 96. If you look to the rear of the GTR, there is also an F1 engine on display.

I'd like to call it #18R if I had to guess, but when it raced in the Hollywood livery in Brazil it had flush headlamps and the extra scoop over the roof vent. Neither of those things would be difficult to add or remove, but who knows... :dunno:

- World Rally Championship and other rally series
- Production car-based racing categories such as GTs and Touring Cars

You obviously know more than you are letting on, so are you able to tell us or do we have to guess? Is it at Lanzante's [that's where I last heard it was] or elsewhere, what livery is it in, and do you have any pics to share....

Its in the blue/yellow livery. As of last year it was in a warehouse near where i used to live, i'm not sure if its related to Lanzante or not. I was working on pics but i don't think thats gonna happen now. Of course, it could have moved since then

In the blue and yellow livery? That's a shame - Id've loved to have seen it in the Lloyds livery. I heard it was at Lanzantes through a chance meeting yesterday, although the guy who should have known alot about Mclarens either was being cagey to protect identites or didn't actually know what he should have!

Hi Phil
The black one is chassis #069, the ex-James Munroe F1
Hmm, reading that, I understand this F1 goes to LA and I think at this man on FChat who purchased an f1...

Aaron Hsu owns both those cars in Le Mans' picture, and I believe he keeps his collection in Connecticut (sp?) although the 2 F1's have been in Hampshire, UK, for a while now.

Can you send a link off Fchat with regards to the guy who purchased an F1 (#014?)

Thanks Greg,

The guy in question told some months ago he purchased an F1 and wanted a flat black paint. I have not the thread there but he bought a F40 at Beverly Hills when he was 18 !

Phil

PS : in the article, I red LAX, it's the airport ?
LAX is the 'code' for Los Angeles airport, just as LHR is for London Heathrow. I read on SC.net a while ago that a matt/flat black F1 was due to be delivered after the refit here in the UK, and IIRC I added it on here too. Could be the same guy? Also it sounds like the guy who bought and refitted #014 from Yellow to White with the HDF kit....?

I was flipping through one of my dads magazines today and i saw an article about 'Cars International Kensington', there was a very small photo of what looked like a car storage room, and underneath a car lift was a Papaya Orange longtail GTR with a plate that read 'CIA 4' i assume it is #27R, the magazine is dated April 2007 so it might have been moved by now. The photo was much to small to be worth scanning and i could barely read the plate. Just to clear things up, from some sources i have heard that the car is owned by james munroe a european accountant (specifficaly 'the cars the star part 4' YouTube) does he still own it, what are its whearabouts???

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

James Munroe did own the car, but due to being a crook (aka pilfering accountant) he shouldn't really have owned it (:)). Countachal and myself went to the opening night of the Showroom back in Jan07 and took some photos of the car that can be found in this thread (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=667870).

It hasn't been seen for a while though, but it may be in their Workshop / Garage down the M4

if anyone knows where a certain GTR was last seen, please let me know and I'll update it.

Stroll's GTR #23r was again raced at the Fall Classic at Circuit Tremblant on Sept 20. Stroll, by the way, owns the track.

Stroll placed second in the race, behind a 2008 Stohr wf1. You can see the results here: http://www.lecircuit.com/eventDocuments/Sep.%2020%20-%20GT%20Challenge%20C1.pdf

Stroll did not contest the second GT race of the weekend on the 21st.

You can just barely see the GTR as the second car from the front at the beginning of this video:
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Lachute-Performance-08_188402.htm Sadly the GTR drives away from the Subaru from which the video was taken. This race was actually part of the Quebec GT series, although many racers (such as Stroll) contest only the fall classic. Pilon, the driver of the Subaru, won the championship by finishing third behind the GTR (way behind).

There are numerous pictures here:

I'm a new member at this forum. And I'm a Finnish.....

I have been F1/LM/GT/GTR fan as long as the McLaren F1 roadcar had it's first public show over 13 years ago. And then came the GTR...and The LeMans 1995. And then here at Finland, Helsinki the GT race 1997 and we saw here the Longtail versions of this GTR McLaren. I will never forget it what I saw and heard that day.

And right now I just want to say, how glad I am to read this information of the LeMans Winner 1995 cars fate. I really believed that the car has been overpainted at Orange and it has came the LM version some where in the world these days.

Fortunately NOT!
Thank you so much these many pics and stories trought the forum, that I have been read and wachted this evening and been more than glad that the winner car has been kept it's orginal race paintings!
I never wanted to believe that McLaren could overpaint that car, which has so great history and which will always remembered at GTR's greatest win. And history has always been important to McLaren.

And I just feel, that the McLaren F1 GTR's doesn't have so much information at the Internet that many us, fans, could hope. So this forum really saved the day!

But still now when I think that here is some one who could answer at this question, I try my luck.
Back over 10 years ago, 1996 we had here at Finland, Helsinki Motor Show. There was one car, what got all my respect. I was only 16 years an old, but I knew what I saw that day. Finnish driver JJ Lehto and his team mates had taken the historic win at LeMans just ear before......1995.
I still had the pics safe place at my home and I know, and I know how rare pics these are today.
But anyway, the show year was 1996 so I think that the viewed McLaren F1 GTR model year was 1996. It also could be 1995. It was of course a short tail version and it was FINA BMW colors. Th racenumber in the door was 38. And the drivers writen on the door:
Jacques Laffite, Steve Soper ja Marc Duez.
So the question is, that what was the chasis number and what was the car's model, 1995 or 1996? And were this car is today?!
I found in the Internet some shots, which would expect this car been 1996, but was it?!
I'm very greatfull about this information!

I know that this thread is quite old one, but still I wanted to write, even my writing is not perfect.
Thank you for your time.

But anyway, the show year was 1996 so I think that the viewed McLaren F1 GTR model year was 1996. It also could be 1995. It was of course a short tail version and it was FINA BMW colors. Th racenumber in the door was 38. And the drivers writen on the door:
Jacques Laffite, Steve Soper ja Marc Duez.
So the question is, that what was the chasis number and what was the car's model, 1995 or 1996? And were this car is today?!
I found in the Internet some shots, which would expect this car been 1996, but was it?!
I'm very greatfull about this information

Hi Sami,

Welcome to the forum,

If you have any rare photos you took of the F1 GTR,s please post.

The GTR you saw at the Helsinki motor show was probably #16R, which was one of three chassis campained by BMW Motorsport in 1996. This GTR is currently for sale at DK Engineering and for the last few years has been in the ownership of "Mr Bridger", who frequents this forum now and again :smile:

16R would be the most likely chassis from my perspective as well, based on your description.

There were some other FINA liveried GTRs used in promotional displays, but they were the slightly different than the ones which were raced, and commonly referred to as the FINA Presentation livery. The reference shots I have of them either did not have a race number affixed or wore the number "1" which has no relation to any real racing event with that livery.

In my image archive I have what appear to be four different display venues featuring what should in all likelyhood be #16R wearing race number 38, so it seems that it was the other one used for some of the promotional work. Perhaps one of these images below matches the setting you recall?

The final pairing has "Mondial" in the filename, which I believe would refer to the Paris motorshow.

Anyway - welcome to the forum Sami. Great to have another McLaren enthusiast find their way here. :cool:

This is without a doubt the most knowledgeable and passionate group you'll find on the web associated with the F1 so you should certainly enjoy your stay. If there is something we don't know about the cars, then it's generally still a mystery or just not public knowledge. We do learn new things from time to time and this place still manages to hold my interest after almost 6 years or so.

Thanks for the friendlynes for all of you!

Yes, I've been working on it, to get those film pics at digital shape. I will do that when I just have time. Please be patient. But I will put the pics here, as soon as I just can.

Really superb to know the chasis number and the year model. Great! Thanks for this information! I thought that it most likely is 1996, but I wasn't sure so I wanted to check that. Thank you!!

Stunning! Yes! Yes! I'm almoust sure that the car what was here at Finland 1996, is the same car that you have shoted at Paris! Number is same and the painting looks same.
Paris motorshow, do you remember the year?!?
But like I said, I will put she shots here, as soon as I can!

About this McLaren F1. It's amazing, there are I think just two other cars, which had put me everytime speechless. Two of them are Lamborghini's; Coutach and Diablo. But this McLaren F1.

I have loved it since it first public show. Every time when I see the pics, was it basic F1, LM or GTR or hear the sound (youtube :D ), every time I fall in love again in it. It just is something...... and back over 10 years ago at Helsinki; when I heard and saw the Longtail GTR..... WOH. Just can't find the words when I first time heard that GTR's V12 shouting. Stunning!
Specialetly this video is just....stunning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1KmxJ6Daic&feature=related

Does anyone know this show more..?!

And I must tell you all, I have collect some scale models about this McLaren F1. Even these one's are quite difficult to get.
I have silver basic F1 I think 1/43 size by Minichamps, then is (do not know the make) 1/18 size that LeMans winner GTR and this Christmas is comming 1/43 LeMans winner longside this bigger one. And then one Longtail is ofcourse; FINA BMW GTR 1997, which JJ Lehto raced it on LeMans and it has procuded IXO Models, like the smaller one LeMan winner. Still want more.......

But I don't know why I have waited this over 10 years to not look any information or scale models of McLaren F1..... Why I have been so stup......
But never is too late!

#07R could be in Hampshire, UK, as this pic was taken by a guy based in Basingstoke through the course of his work

The photograph your friend has taken appears to be the showroom of "Oakfields" a car dealer in Hampshire (www.oakfields.com (http://www.oakfields.com)), the majority of the cars in the picture are either up for sale or have been up for sale recently with the exception of the Mclaren. It is possible that the Mclaren is stored for a client or alternatively owned by Oakfields, as an aside a picture of their showroom on there own website has the Mclaren shown although that could be out of date.

I recognise the showroom as Oakfields.I was allowed to veiw this GTR along side a F50gt,two of the rarest cars in the world,about three years ago.Unfortunatly the guy's there would'nt let me take any pictures,which was frustrating.
This would tie in with the storage story.
I told the chap there that if this was the Jacadi car,it was one of the first GTR's i ever saw,racind at Donington in 1995

So Bingo Sports has one for sale in Japan, DK Engineering have Mr. Bridgers car, 27R is at Cars International and 07R has been seen at Oakfields, all cars that could happily enter the GT90s series if bought by the right people.

Any more for sale?

Oh and can I have the chassis number for the Bingo Sports car?

I think in 2009 we will see a lot more F1's changing hands because people will need the cash, just need to win the lottery now and should be able to pick up a nice F1 :)

Owners certainly do not need the cash, the recent influx of F1,s on the market is due to the fact, that there may be a possibility to capitalise on selling their F1 for around £2.5 million and making a tidy profit.

I was reading this topic once again.:runaround:

And notesed that there is a mention about #18R:
"18R's last trip to Goodwood was in 2005 - I am not sure if it has been out to play since then, but I have nothing to prove that it was."

But if you look this great video....
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=P1KmxJ6Daic .... right to the end, you'll see the text:
BMW Frankfurt 01.06.2008. So I just make sure that #018R doesn't have disappeared nowhere, still going very strong and healthy! :)

Just incase that there isn't added information of this topic about #18R.
If there is, sorry about my blindness. :uhoh:
