Stolen Lotus 41C Formula Altantic - please circulate
| |
 |
The car is a Lotus 41C, Formula B car having a 1600 Lotus Ford Twincam dry sumped engine in Grey with a Bottle green BRM cam Cover. It is a Smirthwaite engine and has no number on it though the inscription V.LOWE is stamped into the blanking plate where the manual fuel pump would have been. It is very rare car, probably the only 41C in the UK and one of only a dozen or so still running in the world, most in the USA.
The gearbox is a Taylor Race Engineering (USA) unit which is effectively a replica Hewland mk 8/9, The wheels are the original Lotus 6 bolt 6 spoke Mags with black centres and polished rims. they have lotus emblem badges riveted onto the centre of the wheels.
The car is in "Gold Leaf "Livery (red over gold over white) with the oblong Gold Leaf team lotus transfers on each side of the car (not shown in photographs)
It is unusual in that all of the wishbones, vertical links, anti roll bars and driveshafts are in chrome rather than the usual nickel plating, additionally the part numbers, are stamped into tags welded onto the wishbones, engine mountings and the removable chassis rails either side of the engine.
The car was stolen on the night of Monday 28th of September from inside its locked racebox which was in turn locked inside a unit on a working farm. The thieves took the apparently illogical step of cutting the car out of the racebox to remove it rather than simply tow the whole lot away.
A substantial reward is offered for the safe recovery of the car. Any assistance that you can give in airing this theft will be greatly appreciated.
Greg can be contacted on; greg.ellaway@googlemail.com with any information.

| Trophees Historiques de Bourgogne, Dijon, 16. - 18. OktoberDear friends of the GTC-TC,
After a fantastic racing weekend at the Nürburgring (the classification tables, race report and photos can be found on our website next week), our last race event of the 2009 season will be taking place very soon - the Trophees Historiques de Bourgogne in Dijon, 16. - 18. October.
In order to present ourselves with a full starting grid in France, we will be starting together with the French historic "Saloon Cars". Since we will be sharing the starting grid with this group (there will be separate prize-givings), the GTC-TC will only have 20 starting places. This is why I need to know your decision as soon as possible (by the latest, Thursday, 8. October) whether you wish to participate at this wonderful race track at the end of the 2009 racing season.
As usual, the timetable, the race circuit plan (the length of the starting and finishing straights is 1,2 km), the event flyer, the document for renting a pit,etc. can be found on our website under events - Dijon.
Attention: The organiser is also offering a free practice on Friday at 11.10 hours. You will receive your participant passes at the "Circuit Welcome (Thurs. 9.00 - 12.30 hours and 14.00 - 18.00 hours, Fri. 8.30 - 12.30 hours and 14.00 - 18.00 hours). The administrative check will take place on the first floor of the Tower in the drivers paddock until Friday 10.40 hours. Please note the information in regards to the drivers briefing.
I would be very happy to greet you all at the race track of Dijon Prenois.
With sporting regards

| Our next GTC-TC race event will take place at the Nürburg Ring from 25. - 27.
Dear GTC-TC friends,
I hope that you have had (or are still having) a wonderful holiday.
Our next GTC-TC race event will take place at the Nürburg Ring from 25. - 27. September. Due to the courtesy of the organiser of the "Eifelrennen" (ADAC Nordrhein), the entry fee for the GTC-TC race could be reduced greatly - instead of paying 690,- Euro, the start now only costs 600,- Euro (2 x 30 min. Qualifying, 2 x 30 min. races).
The entry procedure has not changed at all. Those who have already sent a GTC-TC entry form in 2009, can just send me a short email or fax (all those who have already paid 690,- Euro for the "Eifelrennen" will be reimbursed 90,- Euro at the Nürburg Ring). All new entrants can fax me the completed GTC-TC entry form which can be found in the download area of our website (but please only transfer the amount of 600,- Euro for this race event).
We will starting together with the FHR 100 Miles, so I hope that we will have a fantastic starting field (there will be separate classifications for table, of course).
The closing date for entries is 25. August. After this date, entries can only be accepted after the ADAC has given its agreement to this. Your name cannot be included in the programme brochure after the closing date.
Therefore do not hesitate for long and react as soon as possible !
With sporting regards

| Cancellation GTC-TC at the HockenheimringDear GTC-TC friends, Unfortunately our next GTC-TC race from 19. – 21. June must be cancelled !!!
Facts: After the tiresome, still continuing disputes with the Hockenheimring in regards to the JIM CLARK-REVIVAL, the management of the Hockenheimring issued a house ban before the event “Hockenheim Historic” – for me, my family and all my staff (most probably they wanted to prevent me from getting a personal impression of the sorrowful copy of the JIM CLARK-REVIVAL and this although just about everyone knew that I would attending the RMU Classic in Spa-Francorchamps with the GTC-TC during this particular weekend). But even this was not enough. After I had successfully carried out the JIM CLARKREVIVAL at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, Mr Heinz Weber who is the organiser of the “Stuttgarter Rössle”, was coerced into “uninviting” the GTC-TC from the Hockenheimring. Therefore I have no recourse but to cancel our race event from 19. – 21. June 2009. All entered GTC-TC participants will of course receive their paid entry fee for Hockenheim from me or if they wish, this entry fee will be used for one of our next race events. Due to the longstanding years of good cooperation with Heinz Weber and due to moral reasons, naturally I cannot take legal action against him as the event organiser.
Nevertheless I have already informed the FIA in Luxemburg (ACL) as the licensing authority of the GTC-TC of this matter. In spite of Joe Wagner’s (from Luxemburg) personal intervention who even made the extra effort to drive to Hockenheim last weekend, there has been no official written response from the Hockenheimring up to today. I am not really surprised that the management of the Hockenheimring presents itself as a “bad loser”. But it is coming on very strong when international FIA licence holders are treated so unsportingly. The question still remains of whether one should follow up the punishable offence of coercion legally ? You can gladly let me know your opinion of this matter. Never mind - let us not let our common hobby be spoilt by such “small-minded personalities” but instead look forward eagerly to our next race event in Zolder (B) from 10. – 12. July 2009. You can find provisional timetable even today in the attachment. Please do not hesitate to contact me per telephone if you have any questions.
With sporting regards Ronny G. Bredhauer

| 1. GTC-TC race 2009 - Spa - RMU ClassicDear GTC-TC friends,
Please find attached the timetable for our first race event for the 2009 season which will be held in Spa-Francorchamps. I will only be able to publish a list of hotels online sometime next week since I am still in discussion with various hotels.
Attention: Since the GTC-TC will be starting together with another GT and Touring Cars series in Spa due to cost reasons, I urgently need to know how many starting places I can pass on to the other race series. This is why, I urgently have to know by 16. March 2009 who would like to start in Spa - and although a short message would be enough, it would be better if you could send me the completed GTC-TC entry form as well.
Thank you for your support and see you all soon.
