024R preparation pics

After seeking permission to post,here are some prep pics of the lovely Emka GTR Longtail 024R.Not much work required although she needed one of the front coolers replacing prior to a Donington shakedown.
ENJOY.

Notice the rev counter,she was running!Bloody tight sqeeze in and out with the roll cage!!Seventh heaven to say the least though:rofl:

Bloody tight sqeeze in and out with the roll cage!!

Same as when I sat in #013, as I said in that thread I dont have a 'recaro' arse, so found it 'snug' :)

This is significantly awesome! Thanks for sharing. :)

I'm so glad to see these cars being dusted off and used again. :thumbsup:

Absolutly awesome......great pics.

Really amazing detail much apreciated.

Waouh,

thank you very much to share these so rares pics of F1 with spares !
Very nices pics of a very nice car :)

Will it enter the GT90 ?

Phil

I believe it may be there ;). If Rowan still owned it (yes, apparently he did own it for a bit) you could have seen #061 in the paddock, but seeing as its now in new hands I wouldnt get your hopes up of seeing an F1 in the paddock (unless Mr Bridger fancies a drive out.... :))

Will it enter the GT90 ?

Phil

Yes - it is this one from the entry list:

2 Knapfield Paul UK GT1 McLaren F1 GTR Paul Knapfield

ER

The present owner bought the car from Rowan Atkinson via Taylor and Crawley.The car has been entered for the GT90's Revival meeting.Given mr Atkinson's passion for cars I cannot understand the reason for selling the car,although the gravel found around the damaged cooler maybe a clue :nono: .

Of all the Longtails that have competed i feel this is the best,not only for the livery,which was changed for '99,see last pic,but also for the racing history assosiated with it.


Here are some more pics to enjoy.:grinno:

:thumbsup: top work yet again. Great pics Steve!!

Thanks again for the wonderful shots. It's rare to get to see this level of detail on the longtail GTRs.

Please also extend our gratitude on to whomever has ok'd you sharing these images here with us. :)

It would be very cool along with XP5, #020, #040, #049, #06R, ... :popcorn:

Erik, sorry, I don't associate names with chassis numbers.

bigmac40, thanks again :)

Phil

Erik, sorry, I don't associate names with chassis numbers.

No need to apologize - we all have different motives for being here and that's fine. :cool:

Excellent! Many thanks for sharing these.

cant wait to see it next week!

You've been holding out on us! :wink: How long have you had this, and have you any more?

the other longtail that will be at gt90s revival, what chassis is that??

As mentioned, it will be a FINA car that should be familiar to those of us who have been paying attention.

Someone recently confirmed to me that the car which would be competing was one of the former Schnitzer/FINA GTRs, but wasn't aware of the chassis number. Another person had already told me about the chassis number and owner info but asked me not to mention it.

Things always come out eventually and I expect after the race it will no longer be 'secret'.

>8^)
ER

is it the one I spotted at KS Autohandel somtime ago?

That's certainly a possibility - we'll just have to wait and see. There are still three longtails that wear the FINA livery - #21R, #23R & #26R - and it's definitely one of them. ;)

That is as much as I am comfortable saying at this point given that the actual answer to your question was provided in confidence. I wish I could say more - I always do...

>8^)
ER

Hopefully there are no wrecks in the race. And for that matter no NASCAR-type bumping. :)

So,

there is a possibility to see #13R too ?
I tried by someone to ask if Goron Murray would come with his F1.

Phil

only thing we can do is hoping for as many F1s as possible


PLEASE Mr Bridger bring your Mac with you on the saturday!!!!!!!;)

I thought of making a new thread, but I then thought I'd add them here instead, seeing as some of the are Preperation shots and others are practice / qualifying shots
