Re: F1 GTR racing team transporters
Thanks to "andybee", now I know which manufacturer made McLaren Cars' short rigid unit used to carry the F1 road cars. The only JPG I could ever find on the Net, or from any other source, is so small that I never succeeded in identifying the logo located in the center of the front grille before. I thougt there were "MAN" letters in that spot but right upon reading your post, I immediately realized that "Iveco" was there instead.
As far as the larger McLaren Cars Renault articulated truck/trailer tandem is concerned, you once again put me on the right path. Your post changed the way I had been looking at a few partial shots of McLaren Cars' 1996-97 articulated unit. I went back to such JPGs to examine those in which part of the cab is visible. The only areas covered in such pics revolve around the truck's righthand front wheel and wheel arch. This nevertheless gave me a much better idea of the type of Renault tractor truck used by McLaren. Just a few days later, a scan forwarded by a British penpal confirmed this even further. Now I know which type of Renault model I should be looking for!
The Adrenaline truck definitely is a Mercedes.
Thanks for your much useful leads! If anyone finds other shots showing the 2 works transporters, or sections of these, I will be thrilled to see what you discover...
