i'd have to agree with Andy - why oh why lump the car down the end of the Start / Finish straight when it was the best one there? :screwy:

So glad Greg and i saw it at Chelsea Legends last september! Wonder if it will appear at a big event in UK again.

#05R at Le Mans museum today only.

GGRRRR, this message gave me a very very bad feeling on myself; I was in LeMans at the circuit for the 24h Test Day, and I missed this message. What a shame.
Hopefully #05R or #16R is at the 24h race, I'll try to keep my eyes open for them.

Another pic of #05R here

Anybody seen one during the LeMans 24h week? And where?

One more of #05R.

A really wonderful photographer - Arnaud Taquet - from France got an opportunity to shoot GTR 05R recently at Le Mans. :thumbsup:

So far he's shared a couple of BTS iPhone shots, and some detail photos in a Facebook album. I am certain we have more to look forward to. :)

I chat with him at Sport & Collection. He claims he is one of three or four "official" photographers at McLaren. Is it true ?

He is a talented photo editor not photographer sorry.

Does someone has a list with all the drivers who has ever raced a GTR?
No matter in which race, or championship, or how many races.

I'm searching for this, but they're mainly for the Formula 1 team, and that's not where I'm looking for.

Arjan. Do you have DA ?

Arjan. Do you have DA ?

Yes, 4 copies... with the poster where the names are on.
When someone has a list already, it's a bit easier than making one of this.

(wanna make a handsome print out from all the drivers when collecting autographs in a book on some events)

#20R was some days ago on display at Avd oldtimer grand prix, Nurburgring.

If anyone is familiar with this kind of possibility, would it be feasible to put some tags on a worldmap (and date of input) for the F1s so that we easily know which F1 is closest to us?

A good idea but if you respect privacy you cannot have a precision by city for example.

for me, I indicate only the sate or country.

Hello Cabrio,
I totally agree with you.
Actually, I was thinking of locating F1 which are on museums, retailers, events.
For privately owned F1s, it is anyway more difficult to spot them live.

Andy shared this on Twitter, lovely photo.

This weekend at Spa: 6 hours Classic.
Last few years several F1's turned up for show / ride in the area, what about this year?
Does anybody have information if there will be one (or more) this weekend?

No clue,

there is a white 288 GTO ;)

#05R was on Bugatti circuit today 5th november.
Some pics are here -> http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/photo/roulage-sur-le-bugatti-5-novembre/

It's good to see this car get out more and more :)

Davidoff41, do you know before the event ?

I made a big fail tuesday. I passed not far from the circuit and I couldn't imagine it was there with so fantastic cars...

:/

Hi Phil, I knew about that track day but counld not imagine #05R there.
To be honest, i even don't understand much what about that car. It looks really often in France, and never? with Ray behind the wheel.
(That track day was to celebrate the publication on the same day of "Le Mans 24h Film")

GTR 05R was sold to a new French owner in late 2012.

And I think Ray drove the car in Italy on the Tour...?

It was driven on Day 2 of the Tour, but not by Ray. At the time the car was owned through a partnership explained here in more detail:

Davidoff, it's been a long time since we talk together :smokin:

I was told the car is now in display at the museum

Normaly the car resides in Paris

#16R spotted out and about near Towcester today

and apparently Adrian Newey, seeing as the Formula One season is over for the moment, was taking a well earned rest local to me in Farnham in #14R [no pics of that though... :(]

Found a pic of #14R courtesy of butterbean_33

I recently drove it also. :lol2:

If there's any justice in the world, the Papaya GTR's will one day be returned to their racing liveries.

Great to see them out and about even this late into the year though.

Probably / hopefully yes, but not for #14R as long as Adrian Newey will own it.
I asked him at (both) Goodwood meetings about this, but he sad he keeps it orange.

Couple of shots of 24R at Goodwood in 2010 from a good friend of mine who was happy for me to share them.

Love the interior of the GTRs, central driving position is simply awesome.

Nice photos. I've been wondering where CLK LM #003 went after it was up for sale for a while.

It's a little storage place in France where the owner holds his cars. I believe Nicob and Phil have been by there. I saw a pic via FB the other day from the outside but I can't recall the photographer's page that shared it. It has a full glass front like a retail store would so anyone passing by can get a decent look inside.

>8^)
ER

Yes Patrick, Phil and I know this place well, it's in the Paris region, but it remains rather private... Unfortunately I can't say much more...
The CLK LM and the GT1 were recently acquired.

I am not sure if this was posted

http://www.wilmotslitigation.co.uk/blog/2013/12/23/robert-gray-v-richard-smith-judgment

Thanks for sharing the link - it has never been posted.

The situation was known to a few of us but never widely discussed and is the explanation of why this car has been nearly invisible for so long. I was not aware the legal dispute had finally come to an end but I am thrilled to see that logic prevailed and the outcome favored Mr Smith. :thumbsup:

That is good news especially after the efforts and expense that have gone into the restoration of the car over these past couple of years. My only (selfish) complaint is that I wish the report included more photos. ;)

EDIT: One more thing the full text of the judgement serves to prove is the notion that the buying and selling of these cars can be extremely complicated. "Yowsa!" on this one. :yikes:

Finally, someone has been allowed to show #19R without its stickers - it looked mean just in the black :)

Finally, someone has been allowed to show #19R without its stickers - it looked mean just in the black :)

Yep. Looks just like the black 1/18 UT F1 Longtail street. :)

Btw, I recall this question being brought up after I decided to look up the history on the other Fina F1 GTR longtails today given the recent sale of 21R.

Why does 26R wear 24R's 1997 24 Hour livery when 26R finished 3rd and 24R DNF? Can't for the life of me think of why, but I remember Erik making note of that a while back. Can't be just because they prefer the #42 over #43...
