Hi Mini Magic,

20R at MTC, (in Gulf colours) Winner GT1 Class LeMans 97

(Nice thread)

BTW, McLaren owned three of the Gulf GTR's. Bar Dr Bscher's.

12R, Is possible GTR at Highcroft Racing with you guys in the States. (Send some back, you have got to many)

Isn't chassis #025 George Harrisons (now belonging to his son?) rather than Eric Clapton???

...and the GTR seen in Monaco i have as being #014R....

Is M1 MAC what was #020? or am i wide of the mark on this one?.....

MikeGTR · 06-09-2006, 04:52 PM

Great thread mini magic.

Don't forget 04R Mclaren/West Adreniline programme, was last seen at Mclaren Cars

Yes - Dhani Harrison

Don't think that was ever confirmed. We also have #15R missing in action - I think those were the two possibilities.

Haven't chassis 08R and 15R been owned by Lindsey Owen-Jones since they stopped racing in 1996?

No knowledge of #15R's whereabouts here - LOJ is a possibility, but...

Here's a thread that finally clarifies that the WEST Adrenaline car (first rumored to be #09R, then #04R) was actually GTR #08R. We have Le Man to thank for finally solving the mystery.

Help needed, identifying GTRs

It looks like carbon or black to me. 020 would probably be blue in '95

No real answer, but this was also the F1 that Clarkson drove. I'm sure everyone here has seen the video where he compares the F1's acceleration to that of a Nissan Skyline GTR. I'm not certain if it was in an episode of Top Gear, or just one of those videos he puts out.

It was in the Supercar Shootout where clarkson tested all the 200mph+ cars. I have the article if anyone wants it. There was a video that went with it too but i've never managed to get my hands on it

Can anyone tell what the logo is at the bottom of the plate? Is it me or does it look like the Quantas Airways symbol?

Peloton25 · 06-09-2006, 09:19 PM

I have the full video of the F1 coupled with a segment on the XJR-15 if anyone is interested in seeing it (PM me). I don't own the actual video tape though.

I wonder if that car could be #003 prior to it's migration to Japan?

Possible. I think its more likely that its 011 but of course, without more pics, its hard to say. Is there an interior shot on that video?

Whooa. Nice thread too. I never would have guessed there were so many in England!!

PatrickT82 · 06-10-2006, 07:01 AM

Both the longtail and shorttail FINA GTRs that have appeared at Goodwood in the past belong to the BMW Mobile Tradition Museum in Munich, Germany.
