T-Man should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Actually at first the Bloemer car didn't had the rear wing.

The car first appeared at the 2nd round at Hockenheim, having no rearwing and a somewhat odd grey/white/red livery

The team obviously skipped the next 3 races and returned for the support race of the 24h race on the Nürburgring. Now the car had the white/red colours of Sponsor Test&Tuning and the mentioned rearwing.

They then skipped the race at the Norisring and returned for the second race of the season at Hockenheim, this time the car was driven by Gerhard Müller.

The team then skipped another race at Diepholz and Schall was back in the driving seat for the remaining 2 races at the Nürburgring and Hockenheim.
The car is here shown at the Nürburgring, WITHOUT the rearwing

Haven't been able to find any pictures from the final round at Hockenheim.


I may have another theory on the origin of the Bloemer car. In the picture of Müller at Hockenheim, there seems to be some kind of fuel filler cap/cover on the center roof pillar. This is a feature none of the other group A supras had. But the TTE-ran rally cars featured a fuel filler cap there as seen in the picture below.

So could it be that the Bloemer car was an ex-TTE rally car, which TTE sold after they sacked the supra programme in favour of the Celica?
