Le Man, thanks for the pics.

I have them as 022R, the Parabolica as #024R, the Gulf one ripped apart as #020R and the bent silver MVR is #006R

Nice pics !!

In the first set of pics, there are the Gulf Davidoff #1, #2, and #3 (you can't see the car number in the pic, but it's back there). #3 is 20R, #2 is 22R, and #1 is 25R afaik. 28R later wore the #1 at different races. Thanks for posting those new pics, though! I didn't have any pics of 25R in the Gulf colors.

Do you mean the Gulf Day Off? I don't see a Gulf Davidoff car? If so, please confirm the chassis number for that car--or is it a guess because we can't see what race number the car is wearing, since we are looking only at the back of the car?

I am referring to the last pic in the set of 6 (post 14 in this thread, linked to this pic http://img66.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p31600899ez.jpg).

Last pic is car no 1, Chassis no 25R. Bellm, Gilbert Scott joined by Raphanel. who is pictured in pits with car. As his car no 3, Chassis no 20R. Was crashed in sunday warm up by Gounon (1st pic).

Car no 2, Chassis no 22R. Nielson, Bscher. (3rd pic)

Parabolica car is 27R. (4th pic)

All Gulf cars ran in Day off livery, Due to cigarette advertising ban UK.

I hope this clarifies the Chassis no,s.

I wasn't talking about that picture. I was referring to the garage pic. All the pics are from Silverstone. It's still Team Gulf Davidoff. They put Day Off on the car because tabacoo advertising reasons, but it doesn't change the team name (like in F1 post race interview, they still say Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro even though tabacco ads on cars aren't allowed at some races). Like BE ON EDGE for Benson Hedges...

Le ManParabolica car is 27R. (4th pic)

I have it as definitely #024R, as it also raced at Donington, Laguna Seca, Nurburgring, Zeltweg and Spa all in 1997 using the same number

27R was in the FIA GT Championship for Silverstone in 1997. Placed 6th with Ayles/Goodwin per QV500 info.

Hi Greg, Hope you are not getting confussed with the car taylor&crawley have for sale, as oppossed to 27R at Cars International? If so, they better swap chassis plates. Swapping chassis plates, Now there,s a thought to ponder over!!

Please correct me if I am wrong, 024R first raced LeMan 97, Lehto, Soper, Piquet.

24R did have the Parabolica livery for some races. It did race at the 1997 LeMans 24 Hours with those drivers, but under the BMW Motorsport team livery with the number 42. Other liveries included EMI (red), EMI (blue with Harmon Kardon), and Gulf Davidoff.

27R was at the LeMans 24 Hours in 1997 with the LARK livery. Your 1997 Silverstone picture of 27R has almost the same color combo as the LARK LeMans livery, just a little different.

[Le Man]

Hi Greg, Check out this Autosport add, Seller contact, Any relation of yours? were did you get Parabolica 24R info from!!



24R only entered five events during 97, LeMan, fina colours, Nurburgring,spa,A1 Ring and Suzuka in Gulf racing team Davidoff colours (Bscher/Nielsen) Crashing heavily during free practice. As pic.

Whoa! i was WAY wide of the mark on that one then!...

All my info has been gleaned from here, going on each page and each thread building up info as i go!...

I had better re-look at my files........

[Le Man]

Glad to help you Greg, I,m ok on GTR info. But these guys here tell me a road car chassis no, then I just take their word for it!! (They could be wrong sometimes?)

[Peloton25]

Yes, we've been wrong sometimes, but not too often.

We're usually pretty clear on whether the chassis number is accurate or a guess. Most of the ones we quote are no longer guesses.

FYI: I moved the rest of this post where I mentioned Paul Stewart's F1 to a new thread.

What is different about 01R in this pic, to when it raced at LeMans 95?



If you stare at the pic long enough, you will miss it. It's that obvious!!!
