British GT Championship GTR's

[Monty Kernow]

You guys know much about the 5 GTR's that raced in the British GT Championship?

I know which Chassis, Teams, Drivers etc with pics... But do you guys?

Anyone seen the Team Carl car

[Peloton25]

Yes.

But feel free to share what you know and we can compare notes. Especially if you have any decent photos of Ian Flux's short tail wearing the Lloyd's livery.

That would be grand - to date, this is the only photo I have ever seen of the car in that livery:

Here it is... Birmingham NEC 1996 just a few weeks after 02R's last race.



BTW how do I prevent the watermark bottom right!?

[Peloton25]

The only way to prevent the watermark is to use an alternate hosting site. Automotive Forums forces it on to the photo.

I recommend www.imagestation.com - it's a free site owned by Sony where you can upload as many photos as you like. Unfortunately, they limit the size of the image you can embed into a website, but by simply copying the URL of that version and adding '.orig.jpg" to the end of it you can see the full version in a different browser window.

Amazing photo - did you take that yourself? If so do you have more that you are willing to share? ...pretty please.

Do you know how many races it wore that livery and specifically which ones they were?

It only carried the Lloyds livery in its final race, I have got more info, just need to find it again!

Incidently I did take the photo myself

...Also took photos of it racing at Donington Park in its usual blue and yellow Lazante livery that year

..oh and in the BPR at Donington when it was a GTC Gulf entry the previous year!

[mini magic]

so thats 002R?

[Peloton25]

Yes it is.

Anyone know what happened to Monty? I was just thinking of the Lloyds-liveried GTR again today and thought I'd email him to see if he could share more photos. Unfortunately, now that I've dug up this thread I discovered that he doesn't accept emails through this site and he's not open to private messages either.

Seems strange someone would come here and start two or three good threads with great info (you may recall he was the first to confirm #09R being the Sultan's #01R replica and #25R as the Hitotsuyama car) and then just vanish.

Bummer...

I looked at a C.D. that I had burned for work and located another photo of the Jacadi car from 1995. I'll send it to Peloton this evening after I get home from work.
