Was this model raced elsewhere around the world?
This is another which now races in our local Saloon car series,
Im not 100% sure but it might be the Green Sentra above with just the facelift front end.

I was looking on Jason Hughes website today and I noticed that on one of the photos there appears to be a Super Touring Vauxhall Vectra.

redshoes · 3 Jan 2006, 22:17 (Ref:1494427)

Bilsport used to sponsor Rydell. I assume he donated/lent the car to their museum as he had no where else to put it.

UnO, I assumed from your flag you were in Australia but sounds like you are actually in ZA. The one Camry I know of is raced in the Gult Western Touring Car Challange http://www.touringcarchallenge.com by Brenden Julius.

Looks like one of the old SRi6 V6 challenge cars, probably the one he raced in Super Coupes in 2001/02

Un0Turb0-WP · 3 Jan 2006, 22:28 (Ref:1494432)

Yeah redshoes was in SA now in Aus, well back and forth.

The green car maybe called a Sentra in Africa, but isn't that actually a Primera? Or does the SA Sentra look like a Primera?

The only series which raced a Sentra (called Sunny in Japan and elsewhere??) was the Japanese Touring Car Championship or JTCC. That car was built to ST spec.

I recall some markets still called the Vectra a Cavalier for some reason?

The blue Camry was originally built/raced in the South Africa. Raced for one season in the short lived NATCC and then sold to Australia?

It was brought to the NATCC by Toyota/Rod Millen as a template for the building of the stillborn next gen Camry's. Hey Redshoes, do you want pics of the car for when it raced in the NATCC?

That would be Dean Clements Vectra SRi V6 - Jason needed a gearbox in 2002 & it came wrapped with a car!

I remember the BP Nissan Sentra from watching the SATCC in the mid to late 1990s on Sky Sports. Driven by Giniel de Villiers (now a Dakar driver) and Briton Mark Peters (I recall he was high up in the Slush Puppy empire!) among others.

The Vectra is the Vectra everywhere now. In the 1990s GM standardised the model names across Europe. Astra was the only Vauxhall name which survived the rebranding exercise.

rdjones · 2 Mar 2006, 22:14 (Ref:1534966)

I have just been looking at the BTCC Forum and there is a question from some one is looking to by a 1997 Renault Laguna, in fact it is car 97/04. So it looks like another car may have been un-earthed.

edit Should have looked at Redshoes site, this car is the one that is in Motorsport News/Autosport ever other week.

redshoes · 2 Mar 2006, 22:27 (Ref:1534979)

97/04 has been for sale for at least the last 3 years. I hope it finds a new owner soon as I'm getting fed up adding links to the racecarsdirect site every time it's advertised.

CZottie · 17 Mar 2006, 15:27 (Ref:1551177)

I have found few pictures of JTCC Accord (built in JDM/US shape).
Here they are:

http://www.miyavoux.com/miyavoux/tms32/accordjtcc2.jpg
(BTW, they feature different front splitters.And I don't know why)

and also a picture of a scale model
http://www.3dfinlay.net/g2info/galle...ed6af3f28e9c89

Anyone knows, if a Nissan Primera Camino raced in JTCC was a rebadged european ST car or absolutely different ST based on the bodyshell of the same shape (excluding grill & badges)?

I see it features different front spoiler from those built by Nissan Motorsport Europe or Ray Mallock Ltd.

ST Nissan Sentra from South Africa is actually what we know as Nissan Sunny, but with different front end.

Here are the pictures of various Touring and Super Touring Nissan Primeras.

http://syuninracing.k-server.org/pri...r1.html#racing

Among them are the two generations of JTCC Primeras.
I wonder, who built them, and if there's any tie beteen them and btcc machinery.

PDS · 17 Mar 2006, 23:13 (Ref:1551539)

Does anyone know what has happened to Matt Neals Maza 323 from 1994?

I understand that it went to Slim Borgudd in 95 never to be seen again...

Mondeo Man33 · 18 Mar 2006, 17:56 (Ref:1551999)

I'm not 100% sure if it it was Matt Neal's car that Slim Borgudd had for '95, but it would have made sense to upgrade it rather than building from scratch. The one Borgudd was supposed to use was orange, and although it didn't race in the BTCC itself, it became a regular in the Ace Vehicle Deliveries Sports/Saloon Championship in the late 90s/early 00s. It was driven by Nick Creswell...It appeared many times at my local track, Oulton Park, seemingly still with its original 2.0 V6 engine, judging by the wonderful sound it made!

Here's a link to the only photo I could find, still bearing its original BTCC number boxes...

Nick Creswell

redshoes · 18 Mar 2006, 20:20 (Ref:1552144)

You're right about the 2 cars being different. The turquoise car driven by Neal in the World Cup at the end of 1994 was as I recall built by Team Dynamics. The orange Slim Borgudd 1995 car was built by Roger Dowson. I believe turquoise car raced in the Belcar series in 1998/99. No idea where either car is now.

kmchow · 18 Mar 2006, 23:41 (Ref:1552367)

Actually, there could be a total of 3 Mazda 323s built then?

1 Matthew Neal (tuquoise)
1 Roger Dawson (orange)
1 JTCC raced one (white)

Nick Creswell

It differs slightly from the picture I have. It has a different front bumber and the wing mirrors are also different. Plus it has a different rear wing which I would expect to be changed.

As for the the number boxes, Matt Neals car never ran in the BTCC so it never had them applied..

Didn't Matt Neal race the car in some World Cup or at least planned to?

See REDSHOES last post above...

Found Matt's car for sale here, dated 2000.

Found this - http://www.rally.gr/default.asp?menu...os&race_id=177 - see right hand pic, 4th row.

The pic is taken in March 2003 and from what I can understand (it's all Greek to me) it was driven by ΠATΣOYPEAΣ KΩΣTAΣ and described as a Mazda 323F BTCC, so I'm fairly confident it's the same car. There's also a number of Honda Accords I didn't know about.

PDS · 26 Mar 2006, 00:04 (Ref:1560673)

Great find Redshoes....

Yes, I think you are right about the Mazda..
