It may be owned by a gentleman named Kevin Crowder, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. Search this forum for Hudson Historics and you should find a good set of photos of it in it's present condition.

#19R was not the Yellow Corn car, though there were several references to that chassis number in the Hitotsuyama Racing literature and often the car was given that reference number in race listings. The Yellow Corn GTR turned out to be chassis #25R.

#19R raced alongside the Yellow Corn GTR in the JGTC series for several years under the Nicos and SOK liveries. You may be familiar with those. It stopped racing at the end of 2003 I believe, and was sent to the factory for its refit to the LARK livery before coming to the USA via Symbolic Motors.

The Team Davidoff liveried GTR was GTR #22R. It also raced under the Loctite livery at the 1998 LeMans race and spent some time in the GTR Euro Series in 1998. It is difficult to find photos of it in the Black/Red livery. In 1997 it was one of the Gulf/Davidoff GTRs. I don't think anyone really knows where that car ended up.

The info you offer on #16R is weel known by those of us here. In fact, one of the employees at Maranello Motorsport has made a few recent contributions to the discussion directly.

thanks for the info. i have a few picture of 019r in its current livery, i didnt know if those were current though, i am familiar with the sok/nicos liveries as well. as for the gulf/davidoff/loctite/emi car the last owner i know of was thomas bscher, meaning he probably still owns it. as for the 016r reference, sorry im new to this forum as of today and obviously need to catch up on my recent mclaren f1 history, as i am a huge fan of these cars and their racing history, ive already spent hours reading these threads, lol

Maybe he still owns it...

I don't believe this GTR ever carried EMI sponsorship though. That would be #24R which was owned and driven by Steve O'Rourke in the later part of it's career. We learned recently that Rowan Atkinson owns that GTR now and it wears its original FINA livery again.

No problem - take your time and enjoy.

Sweet photo!!!

I think he might be specifically looking for the shots of this car when it was not wearing the Davidoff or Dayoff sponsorship. The car is almost completely black in those photos with only the red lines to set it off, and just a few remaining sponsor decals.

You know, since that car wore that race number at LeMans in 1998, I wonder if those shots were taken at LeMans qualifying. Never really crossed my mind before.

thats the car all right, it ran in the fia gt series in 1998. i watched all of the races on speed chaneel which was speedvision at that time, of course they condensed the races to a 1 hour showing instead of the full 3-4 hour enduro. it wore the davidoff sponsorship decals like in the first pic, great pics, thanks! oh yeah and that parabolica car in the photo album looks like 019r with the lark sponsorship removed and parabolica added. the lark 019r and the 1998 davidoff car are my 2 favorite liveries. by the way anyone know the chassis #? should be the same as the loctite car for the 1998 24 hours of le mans

More pictures straight out of Japan, from the Zent Amusement Zone or ZAZ museum.

The following are taken last August 2005 and show LM2 and #053.
Also some other models, for the ones that like to keep a complete record of the ZAZ museum. I hope the big administrator allows it

#053



LM2



Both


Enzo and F40GTE


The next ones are from 1996, scans of analogue images. Not the nicests around, but at least proof of #018 having been there in previous years. Of course, LM2 and the burgundy GT are also present.



Enjoy!
