Re: 13r

Not sure if its only me, but I could not get the JGTC 96 parts 1 and 2 to work on the video thread. So I,ve rehosted the links here again.

Its just absolutely fantastic watching #13R,#14R (And 4R ) in these clips from the JGTC races .

Re: 13r

I'll have a look I may have the original artwork for this livery somewhere, I'll have to do a deep deep search. Worst case, I have the vector art for the Lark logo and 99% sure of the company who did the original graphics if you need them Andy. drop me a line

The image from Autosport posted earlier at launch was taken at Chobham. IIRC we did a photoshoot, which TBH, the pink was too purple. It didnt have all the branding on it either.

That was the first chassis built. I assume 13r

Re: 13r

It was also good to meet up again with Le Man and, for the first time, LARK60, who's 4 hour trip down was definitely worth it

Glad he enjoyed it, great to see he enjoying the cars aswell.

Good to meet some new faces today. First time on track with the f1 today, enjoyable but was also nervous. Never raced or tracked at thruxton before and was also wet. Do want to get back out again though!

Re: 13r

Big thanks to Andy for bringing the car out in uncertain weather.I won't forget that first glimpse i got of the car as it arrived in convoy with the other supercars.
Got back home at 9.00 after a 490 mile round trip.The day was fantastic,even though i spent most of the time looking at one car![Andy's LARK].
Nice to meet Le-man & hurstg01,their knowledge and passion for the GTR made it a perfect day
Thanks to all 3 of you

Re: 13r

First of all I would like to say a big thankyou to Andy, for bringing out #13R and sharing with the general public. His generosity with his time and patience answering our questions and allowing us to take close up pics was immense, a true gentleman .

It was also great for Andy to win "BEST OF SHOW" and so he should, as to me there was not many cars on display that could come close to the presence created by #13R.

It was great to see this livery for the first time, a great credit to Andybee,s graphic design. What amazed me most was the colour was more pink, than the red that pics in mags and on the net portray, still it was a great contrast with the grey and sponsor logo,s .

It was also a great pleasure to meet up with other forum members, Lark60 for the first time, I can now understand why he chose his forum name, his enthusiasm for this GTR is immense .

Also it was great to meet Greg again and his son Thomas, another McLaren F1 fan at such a young age, as you can see in Greg,s pic, a future owner in years to come?

When I have a bit more time I,ll post up some pics.

Re: 13r

Thanks of these fantastic images!
Wish to be there also, but no can do.

Is there any videoclips anywhere?

Damn, I hope my dream would come true to see GTR McLaren at Helsinki next years winter at Motor Sport Show.
Once again these images of GTR's makes me sad not able to see- or shot one, hope some day...Some day!
