I've just obtained 4 more race programmes, and in there found these - feel free to fettle with your p-shop skills to enhance them from their current state

Can't work any miracles on them, I don't think, but I do thank you for sharing them with us sir.

With all the recent chatter about #04R I was thinking about this car too. A long time ago I had someone promise to send me current photos of it and they never materialized in my inbox. I'll try another request.

Also, a user in here once offered to share additional photos of it in its Lloyds livery. Wonder if I can track him down too?

Now you know I'm .

Okay - two emails went out this morning to people I haven't contacted since 2004 about #02R. I guess it is true - I really don't like to bug anyone.

I also sent another email yesterday in regards to comments made here back in 2004 about a certain blue F1. A positive response to my speculation would assist with solving one more mystery. In this case, I only recalled the comments a few days earlier and then had to track them down to be sure of my memory.

I'll hope for the best on replies from all, but that's a long time to have waited in all three cases.

Talking of 02R,

There was an article in CCC magazine, way back at the tail end of 96. That featured 02R in a data logging article, unfortunately I do not have a copy of the mag, but I did see a year end review section in one recently, that showed that the article was covered, I,ll search it out and post up .

Check out the GTR articles thread (In a mo), For an article that features 12R .

Well no luck for me with my old source on #02R. I got a reply, but he has long since purged any photos he would have had of the car. Two things were mentioned. One, that he believes the car is still owned by Lanzante. The second was that it has had catalysts fitted for a conversion to road use.

I'm not sure if comment #1 is still true or if anyone was aware of fact #2?

It would be nice to have some additional shots of that, and also more photos of the car in the Lloyds' livery. It was even displayed at a British Motorshow in the Blue/White Lloyds scheme, so I am surprised there aren't a few more shots in circulation of that.

The Team Carl Blue/Silver livery on 21R has also never been done. Nor has the original 1997 GTR Presentation Livery on 19R with the pink and yellow flourescent squiggles that I can recall.

The top shot is DEFINITELY sponsorship related, as it shows theEsprit windscreen repair system in use !

I'll check my archive as I may have a cd-rom from that company with more footage/photos.

Touching on this thread again, I recently conversed with an ex-F1 driver who tested this Lanzante car back in the day . Unfortuantely he couldn't remember too much about the car, as he drives an awful lot of cars in both his testing and racing role

[DocGTR]

Does anyone have info or clear enough images of the round decals (marked below) on the roof of the 02R Lanzante during the 1996 BRDC GT races? That info would be needed to produce the decals for scale model if I'm lucky enough.
