Compliment! :applause: And not one of them is in the second part of my following racing puzzle!
-
I was hoping I wouldn't corrupt your plans. Good that didn't happen :)
-
No fast rookies? Up to the experts.
-
I know just one :-\
Number 6 is a Bristol-powered Lotus X
-
It surely is.
-
3# Peugeot 203 Barquette Barbier
4# Fisanotti-Dodge from argentina
-
Both right
-
I know just one :-\
Number 6 is a Bristol-powered Lotus X
That's the only one I knew too and have just logged on to identify it!
The picture actually shows its owner Mike Anthony racing it at Silverstone in May 1955.
-
16# Polensky ´s home-built "Kurpfalz" Special
-
Indeed :)
-
#1 - Forsgrini Monaco.
It had an 1100cc Ford 105E engine mated to a Fiat 600 transaxle, and was designed to compete in the G Modified class.
-
That's right ;)
-
#10 - Barlow Simca.
-
:thumbsup:
-
#8 Frissbee GR3 - Chevrolet ?
-
#16 - Veritas Meteor
-
Sorry, no for both (note that #16 has already been guessed).
-
14# KVN 2500S 1959 by V. Kosenkov engine from M-21 Volga
-
Yes
-
12# Cougar C12
20# Gebhardt JC842
-
Both right!
-
Let the Pros step in.
-
Nice puzzle.. unfortunately I can't help there :D
-
Could #2 be a horribly disfigured Lola #140 or 142?
-
Bullzeye! But could you be more precise? I'll lock this for you until your next reply, but no longer than 2 days.
-
I believe this is one of the "Avallone-Chryslers" that were raced by Carlos Avallone in Brazil. Besides the makeshift bodywork on this one, he also fitted the Lola T142 with T222 bodywork and was quite successful, winning the Brazilian championship something like four times.
-
No7: Duckhams LM #LM-1 - Ford Cosworth DFV/Nicholson V8/90° 4v DOHC 2993 cc N/A, raced at 1973 LeMans 24 hour race
-
Good! Both guesses are correct.
-
8# March 811 (RAM-March) Can-Am 1982
-
Everything is right, but I have a slightly different name for this car (.....-March 811, but not RAM). Do you know what it could be? Locked for you until your next reply, but no longer than 2 days.
-
I have found it also as Cobra-March
-
:thumbsup:
-
I believe that #15 is a 1947 Urania 500cc Supercharged F2 BMW Boxer.
-
#19, I believe, is a 1965 Eisert-Chevy Champ car that has been converted to F-5000.
-
Twice yes, although I have this Urania as 1948 model. The Eisert is JE67 according to some sources.
-
It needs a little bump, methinks
:bump:
-
No 11 has Austin 7 (or perhaps Dixi) wheels at the rear and possibly Austin 10 wheels at the front. If it is an Austin 7 special, I don't recognise it. The background doesn't look British so maybe the colonies somewhere.
-
I think the rear wheels may rather be Dixi ones than Austin 7, and no, the background is not British.
-
#13 - AC by Anisio Campos?
-
Bingo!
-
#9 Neudo Mota Prototype based on Malzoni and VW parts
-
Mostly right. Although I know him as Neuder Mota. His nickname was 'Dezinho', and that is the name I have seen applied to his car also.
-
probably it had a exemplary drag coefficient...
in action:

-
Good picture! Seems to be battling with #13 from this puzzle :)
-
#17- A 1965 Merlyn Mk6A ?
-
It is not Merlyn (and not British at all)
-
17# Appears to have a Lotus 23B body but if the car is not British then I'll hazard a guess as a 1970s Dona Special from Canada which used an Alfa Romeo engine on a Lotus base.
-
Sorry, but it is not Lotus body, not Canada and not 1970s.
Here is another picture of #17.
-
#17 is she from South-America?
-
South :thumbsup:
America :thumbsdown:
-
South Africa?
-
Nope...
>>> :taz: <<<
-
Australia... ^-^
-
Yep :yeah:
-
could No17 be a Matich ?
-
No, it is not a Matich. However, it was a very successful car as well.
Well, maybe I'm giving it away now, but the driver became a champion twice a year in two different classes on two different cars. This is one of them.
-
17# Higgs Peugeot.
Higgs also raced a Formula Junior.
-
Oh, right!
Sorry for a long reply - I missed your answer in a due time.
-
No11: Günther Wurlitzer / DDR: Wurlitzer 1 BMW (GDR Formula 3 championship, 1951)
-
And one more (future) point for you!
-
One question per car, I hope it is allowed:
fw5: South American?
fw18: German?
-
Yes, it is allowed, but no for both.
-
fw5: European?
fw18: European?
-
fw5 - no;
fw18 - yes.
-
fw5: Australian?
fw18: British?
-
#18 - Swiss?
-
fw5 - not Australian,
fw18 - not Swiss, but British it is.
-
Hmmmmm...... Van Diemen?
-
Not Van Diemen, no.
-
fw5: Africa?
fw18: better-known Formula?
-
fw5: yes! Seems you have come with something, so locked for you until your next guess.
fw18: the make is quite a popular choice in its class
-
To help pnegyesi with his guess,is the driver of #5 named Gurbux?
-
What a nickname! Thanks for the help! Please award D-type the point and not to me. Anyhow, fw5 is "Kugi Sagoo at the start grid in his Sagoo Mark ll at the Nakuru Racing track in 1967"
-
I'll give a point to each of you for your cooperation, as it is indeed a Sagoo MkII from Kenya.
P.S. Pal, sorry, I have forgotten that the points are still waiting for the last car to be uncovered, so I have scored you one and then subtracted it back :P
-
No worries. As for the last one, I am on the case, but can't tell you more at the moment. If someone else finds it before me, then be it :)
-
No one did yet ::)
-
It was raced by a Swiss guy, ain't so :)?
-
Yes, it is a Swiss guy at the wheel of #18 on this picture. Already know the answer?
-
No, I don't know yet, but getting closer
-
What a nickname! Thanks for the help! Please award D-type the point and not to me. Anyhow, fw5 is "Kugi Sagoo at the start grid in his Sagoo Mark ll at the Nakuru Racing track in 1967"
The driver's given name was Gurbux Singh Sagoo and "Kugi" was the nickname . No point please! I don't deserve it as I should have recognised the car earlier
-
I actually was almost sure the point for Sagoo will be yours :)
I have already promised you a point, so no way back.
-
#18 - British make and run by a Swiss probably in the 1980s
- it would of course help to identify the series.
I presume this is Sports 2000?
-
If anyone would like to try their luck: I managed to read the name of the sponsor on the front of the car. We called them in Switzerland, but our German and their German is a tad different :) If anyone else would like to try it, I can PM the phone number.
I am sure this car raced in the early 1990s.

:doh:
-
#18 is British and run by a Swiss guy, that's right. It is indeed from the eighties (let's say, from the edge of eighties-nineties).
As for a category, I'm 99,9% sure it is Sports 2000 car, but still not 100%... As I said the make is among the better known ones in this category.
-
#18 - Tiga?
-
Yes!
Locked for you until your next reply to find the model name.
-
Tiga SC89
I think this car was mainly used for hill climbs in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
Owner/driver was Gerhard Kessler of Autohaus Kessler, Schubelbach, Switzerland
-
Right!
This picture is from 1989.
-
So, cars are solved, points are awarded. The puzzle is done, congratulations!
