It was designed for a specific racing series. Not French.

Very close with the title. A small clue - the car was made in the UK but the race series was held elsewhere.

Neither, I'm afraid.

This car was built for a fairly unknown series. Pros?

It happened, and today they are run in historic festival meetings. The series was instigated by a very well-known driver from a country which has produces a surprising number of successful drivers.

van diemen , based on the multi sports

Locked for you. What was the model called, and what powered it?

shamrock · July 17, 2014, 08:17:05 AM

VAN DIEMEN SR22OO , SUBARU 22OO ENGINE

Yes! One well-earned point to you. It's nice to have a fellow motor sport fan on AP.

I don't know much about this car, but apparently the race series was started by none other than Keke Rosberg, who I think was using it to find promising new drivers in Finland. I'm not sure if it ever travelled to other countries. The car was standardised as this Van Diemen with a Subaru EJ22 motor.

Sorry for bringing this old topic back to life ..... but as I just bought a couple of these cars - I´m searching for info.

Anyone have any idea where to search for info like productions stats, years, variations between years etc?
