This is my first attempt at uploading an image. If it works it is a picture of 2 of the Finnish Gp 5 320`s at Kamora.

Pictures are taken at the RMU Classic this Year .The Car was not on the Entry List ,so it is not so easy to have more Information .Could be from a English Racing Team .

Alex E · 27 Dec 2009, 11:42 (Ref:2605340)

Ok I had a closer look at the pictures, it is not an original BMW Motorsport chassis. So there is no way it can be ex Stuck / Peterson 320.

The RMU Classic is each Year end of May in Francorchamps . This is the last Picture from the Car . Problem was that the Car was not on the Entry List and did not Run .

driftwood · 27 Dec 2009, 16:28 (Ref:2605409)

maybe worth asking the organiser who the car belonged to?
maybe Maurice Girard car?

Alex E · 27 Dec 2009, 16:52 (Ref:2605413)

Could be the same car that was entered & arrived at the OGP in August. There was some problem with the FIA papers & the car did not run. It was from France & was quite a good replica. It had Cheevers name on it.
What made you think it was Stuck/Peterson car anyway ?

lemansfan · 27 Dec 2009, 17:26 (Ref:2605422)

Just an idea when I sorted out the Pictures from this Event .

Thanks for your Help !

driftwood · 27 Dec 2009, 21:26 (Ref:2605475)

ian beckett · 28 Dec 2009, 10:07 (Ref:2605601)

Car ran at Spa RMU Classic,race #50 driven by Ch(Christian?) Velland.Looks to me like good quality replica.Unusual combination of original type rear arches and wing as per Junior cars from '77 with front air dam more like that used by turbo car of Stuck/Peterson. Mirrors are also non standard? Pictures on Belgian gyle site.Ian.

driftwood · 29 Dec 2009, 09:54 (Ref:2605885)

|I think this car is the swiss car from Christian at auto klassiker garage
he said he had a replica Gp5 car

Ted Walker · 31 Dec 2009, 17:07 (Ref:2606840)

The same car was at Dijon in Oct 09.I have quite a few period photos available if you care to E Mail me including some shots taken in a garage in Switzerlsnd in the 80s. Or see me at Autosport Int in Jan

Hey Driftwood, Is this your car in the background? The numbers wrong but the colors look right.

solo318 · 7 Jan 2010, 16:40 (Ref:2609565)

I was flipping through some pictures and have come across a RIGHT hand drive group 5 (Jagermeister car GS tuning). Seems to be the only one? Was there any strategic reason for the change? It just seems odd to me that there was only one rhd car. (or is there more and I just haven't seen them?) Thanks, Steve

I've been following this thread for a couple months. My race partner used to own the HAT Group 5 car which he bought from R. Hohmann (Hohmann Auto Technique - HAT). He purchased the car in 1981 when Hohmann moved to Canada and campaigned the car at a club level here in Calgary Alberta Canada, then Edmonton/EIR, Vancouver/Westwood, and Portland Oregon USA/PIR. He eventually sold the car around 1991 or 92 to a individual in Toronto Ontario Canada. After a while we heard that another person bought it and Korman in the USA did a restoration. Afterwards the car went onto Australia. I've heard it may be in Japan now, but I'm not sure.

Though we have a number of photographs of the car they were mostly snap-shot grade with very little detail.

This first shot shows one style of original livery during the era when Hohmann campaigned the car:

When Hohmann moved to Calgary he had my partner repaint the car in this basic black and white scheme. Shortly there after he sold the car to my partner.

My partner then repainted the car in this scheme which replicated the livery of another car competing in group 5.

These last three shots were taken while my friend did a restoration to the car in the late 80s:

Interesting to note these original cars had aluminum roll cages. My partner had a challenge getting it approved by the local sanctioning body

Jim,thanks for posting the pictures,any more available? Earlier in the thread I did the full updated history of this car having done a lot of research on it for its present owner David Wong in Singapore.Ian.

Jimsturbo · 13 Jan 2010, 04:54 (Ref:2612558)

Ian, there are a few more pictures in the folder but I was unsure where they fit regarding the timeline. I'll ask my partner for details before posting them up. I'm sure he'll be able to add some text though I may have to type it for him. Give me a couple days.

Jim

ian beckett · 13 Jan 2010, 10:01 (Ref:2612635)

Hi Jim,I have been in contact with the cars present owner overnight and he is more than keen to find anything no matter how small about his new baby.Look forward to hearing from you soon,if you have any questions you can always email through 10/10ths,just click on my name in blue on the threads,Ian.

Hi Ian, got sent this the other day. Don't know who took it or where, but going by the people in the background, somewhere in Asia.

I can see why there was the confusion with the Frank Gardner Aust cars. Also note the BMW in the back ground. Same scheme.

ian beckett · 29 Jan 2010, 08:36 (Ref:2621498)

Excellent,this is the same picture I have seen before but much clearer,many thanks.Ian.
