I'd be interested to know the European history of this car before the 1988 Wellington 500. Did the car go back after? |
Thanks racer69, thats the only pic I've been able to find also.
The car was built in Feb 1988.
Raced in ETCC 1988, drivers were Ravaglia, Giroix,Pirro,Van De Poele,Grohs,Oestreich.
Then sent to NZ, won '88 Wellington/Pirro&Ravaglia, 2nd at Pukekohe/VandePoele, then Fuji, Japan/DNF/Heger&Pirro, then a win at Macau/Nov 88/Altfrid Heger.
Car returned to Europe, sold Feb 1989 to France.
