Ralt RT1
Here is a starting list of Ralt RT1s based on :-
1) The list published in Autosport 31st March 1977 (1-70) 2) My (few) contemporary notes (71-93) 3) Ralt Chassis listing (94-167) The headings used relate to the format of the Ralt chassis listing. Some of this data is therefore not shown for pre no. 94 chassis.

I can only assume that the early part of these lists gives the country of the car's destination, not the country of the purchaser. I remember Paul Bernasconi as a fairly abrasive Aussie.
I don't know if he visits TenTenths, but if he does, his face would have been a picture on reading "22 P Bernasconi (UK)" Last edited by cirrus; 2 Jul 2004 at 19:24. |

36 was the FAt car McMillan took to NZ 1976, and thought to be the one he’d previously raced in N America (when Cogan drove 34)
51 Nilsson F3 (not Nielson) 56 Olofsson F3 59 Wettstein 73 FAt raced by Hugh Owen NZ 1978 (believed ex-US) 88 Robertson FAt > Steve Millen in NZ 1980 91 Perkins FAt in NZ 1979 (later John Smith) 119 described by a later seller as ex-Rahal |

Allen,
Many thanks for tabulating my data, as I hit upon the problem of editing my post (only allowed within 10 mins of posting). Cirrus.....yes, the country quoted is the country of the car's destination or that of the agent. I'll be off line for a week or so, so if any entries require clarification I'll deal with when I return. ADAM |

Hi
Does any body know when Ralts changed their rear engern frame setup from three rods each side going from the tub and attached to the bottom of a frame that went round the gear box to having the engern frames attaching to a cross member above the gearbox? Regards Richard Trott |

RT1-31 was kept as a works rent a car. Kennedy only used it at British GP meeting in 1977
RT1-73 which went to Hugh Owen is described as ex Craig Hill [1977] car in US/Canadian Atlantic RT1-128 would be Mike Follett who did a fullish season on it in 1978 N.American series. RT1-119 would be Ken Duclos who also did that. Whilst this is not an RT3 thread, would this be correct 155 Salazar 160 Rob Wilson 166 Wyatt Stanley? I'm very curious about the RT4-162. Did this ever race in 78? If so where? I don't have an RT4 in N.America until Danny Sullivan appears in one late season in 79. This build record suggests that all the RT1s that dominate the 79 season in N.America were also mostly built 78 or earlier. Chris |

Chris, I suspect -155 is the Salazar car. We're still ,unsure, I think, how many other RT3s were made in 79, ISTR one being in Italy, maybe one with Schafer in Germany too. These may have been 160 and 166, as I don't think Wilson got his much before Spring 80, and Stanley slightly after that.
On RT4s, I guess -162 was the first one, that Ray M raced late in 79 at Brands, and won. I wonder whether this is the one you have Sullivan in also late in 79 ? Perhaps Ray shook it down prior to going to the US. |

On the mention of RT4's. Any info on chassis #185. I was told it was one of the first imported to the U.S. but can't find an early history.

RT4-185
This car raced in UK 1980 - 1982. 1980 with David Leslie 1981 to David Duffield 1982 used by Ray Mallock as F2 car 1984 I have still in UK running FL with James Stevenson, which information comes, I think, from Jeremy Jackson These notes come from period journals so I rather doubt the attribution of it being an early import. If Adam's Ralt records go on, maybe we should have a separate RT4 thread. We have very good records on RT4s in UK and Australia/NZ so might be able to sort rest out by elimination. Chris |

Extending some of those RT1 histories
RT1-22 Mr Bernasconi till end 78 then Eliseo Salazar until his RT4 arrived in 1979 RT1-29 Kept by Geoff Brabham until end 78, then 1979 Hub of the Universe Racing rent-a-car for Osamu Hatagawa RT1-104 after Lammers, 1978. 1979 to Wyatt Stanley; 1980 Gerry Amato, then mid 1981 to Jeff Williams RT1-139 after Ken Silverstone, 1978, 1979 to Duncan Bain, then 1980 Terry Gray [AND WHY DID NO ONE EVER GIVE HIM A DECENT DRIVE AFTER FF?] Chris |

Chris, agreed on Terry Gray. He seemed very 'fashionable in FF with Van Diemen in 78 and 79, then suddenly disappeared completely. Anyone know why, or was it the usual lack of cash issue ?
On RT4s, are you certain -185 was the Mallock occasional F2 car in 1982. I presumed Duffield used it for his odd F2 races that year, not Ray M. This would make sense as Duffield also used it in FAt over here in 82, along with Alo and Flux also in RT4s. Have we discussed the latter 2 cars here before ? Was Ray M out in F2 that year, can't recall now, I know he was doing the Nimrod thing that year. If he was, surely it would have been in his 81 FAt RT4, not Duffield's. |

Thanks for the info. on RT4-185. I can trace it to So. Florida in the late 80's, but thats as far back as it goes. Thanks again.

It's an F3 RT1 Novamotor-Toyota probably 1978 I restored about 18 years ago I doubt if I still have a record of the chassis no .

Hi
The RALT in the photos has the later rear end that picks up on a cross member above the gearbox but my RT1 has the older engern frame that conects onto the bottom of a square frame that goes round the gear box. My interest is that I do not know the chassi number of my car so I am trying to put a rough date to it by trying to find out when Ralts changed the set up. It is supposed to be chassi number 110 and a build date in 1978 but I am not so sure. Anyway it goes ok as I won the Classic F3 race in it at Silverstone five weeks ago and I am out in it at Brands this weekend. Regards Richard Trott |

Richard T, great to have you posting on here. I'm sure you've many stories to tell of your racing in the late 70s/early 80s. I recall you annilhated the FF2000 fields in 1980, and went pretty well in F3 the next year, with, I believe, little money.
Any good tales you can tell us 'armchair fans'. |

Adam,
I never got your PM but found this thread anyway - that's brilliant stuff! Given a few days (or perhaps weeks) I'll try to find out if I can add something to this via my F3 database. |
