GT 90's Revival - What happened?

[dazbaz_99]

I remember this series supported the British & French rounds of the FIA GT championship last year. It seems to of dissapeared from the radar for this year. The website for it has not been updated at all. Has it gone for good?

Shame if it has.

[geeteeone]

It's still going, seems a little bit lower key than last year though:

The info on this years series is a little light on the ground - does anyone know any data on the qualifying, race, entrants?

PS 1 post in 5 years, not bad

[kingkai]

According to the calendar it ran this weekend at Mugello. Any news on that and which entries drove? (more important any pictures )

[hurstg01]

In most cases Google is my friend but even that is drawing a blank on any info on Mugello last weekend

EDIT - apparently the two Stealth B6 GT1's were the ones to beat, with a 1-2 after qualifying. In race 1 they lead for 20 mins before the 2nd Stealth retired (transmission) but Krayems stealth won by over 30 seconds. Race 2 - Stealth won again, leading by 400m by the first corner after the rolling start, and by 20 secs after the 1st lap (!). One of their tyres failed 1 lap before the pitstop window so they had to do a full lap on 3 tyres, losing 4 minutes. Eventually, after gaining at 7 seconds a lap wasnt enough to gain them 1st plave for both races; they eventually finished second in race 2.

Apart from that (from here )I am still coming up with nothing.

Cheers for that Is that it? 6 entrants ? \Does that mean there were no Mclarens at Mugello ? Have you got the web link for more info?

thanks!

I hope more cars appear at the Jim Clark Revival in 3 weeks time

[TheNewBob]

Oh dear! I thought Bobby Verdon-Roe was entering a Lister in the series this year?

[geeteeone]

I think they've made a mistake by not following the FIA GT series around this year. Instead of building on last year's the shaky start, they seem to have managed to reduce grid numbers further.

But for a few unfortunate problems, last year's Silverstone grid could have been much better with a McLaren and Porsche GT1 joining the Lotus GT1 at the sharp end.

Running alongside some pretty low key historic series this year has turned any prospective new entrants away, I reckon. There must still be plenty of these cars sitting around in garages just itching to be driven. It's a real shame - I got into sportscar racing by watching the GT1s in the mid-late 90s. At least I can count myself lucky to have seen the Lotus at Silverstone. Not really sure how the Stealths fit in though, I don't recall them racing in any GT series until this decade.

[old man]

Someone told me no tyres at Silverstone suitable for the McLarens, has that changed?

[wekatz]

The entrylist for the 2nd round at the Jim Clark revival in Hockenheim looks more promising.

Wow, no Porsche 911 GT1 so far this year. I thought roumors where two entries. Well roumors says it all... Well 11 pre-entries is better than 6

Just hope Spa has 15+ entries, as I might come as a sort of own birthday pressent

There were a couple of pictures from the mugello event on endurance-info a few days ago:

[benjabulle]

Next round will be at Hockenheim next week and the entry list doesn't look much better except a McLaren GTR driven by C.Glasel.

[JAG]

It has taken the Historic Group C/GTP series almost a decade to attract strong grids.

GT1 era cars are still too recent to have any serious interest from an historic racing perspective, interested parties would more likely run either a Group C/GTP car or current LMP/GT.

It also takes a good few years for cars to be sourced and restored to racing condition.

That's the Gulf Mclaren short tail (#12R) - I did hear a rumour that Lanzantes were sending 2 longtail F1's, but that was a while ago . Hopefully the pics will be better from Hockenheim, as there were hardly any from Mugello

[benjabulle]

I saw it some months ago during tests at the Nurburgring, it's the FINA one.

That was (one of the) Glasels personal Longtail GTR, chassis #21R, at the Modena-Motorsport Trackday

This is the Gulf Shorttail taking part at Hockenheim

[benjabulle]

I didn't know he had several ones, would be happy to see the Gulf GTR at Hockenheim. Talking about Glasel, I don't see anymore his Jaguar XJR9, did he sell it ? he will also drive a McLaren MP4/1B in Historic F1 at Hockenheim.

Sorry, I didn't make myself too clear - I am not sure which of the Glasels owns the F1, not that they own more than one. The Gulf car I believe is now owned by american Aaron Hsu of Highcroft Racing fame

Here are some shots of it I took whilst at one of the Coys Historic Festivals in the 90's when it was owned by Ray Bellm (he's driving it in pic3)

[benjabulle]

Back from Hockenheim, the Mclaren was the FINA longtail, the entries were.....well, better to talk about the Mclaren
