GTC #33 two-fer SOLVED: Technical Studio TS-07, Helem V6, Fior/Nogaro Technologies
« on: September 08, 2008, 12:23:19 PM »
To celebrate my 33rd puzzle, here's a two-fer.

1 point per image. Post only if you have both answers, a single answer will not be recognized. Identify which image is which.

Good luck!

Both cars are based on the Spider Renault Sport, as it is so mysteriously called, and the top car is the newer one, probably based even on the bottom one.

Top: Technical Studio TS-07
Bottom: Helem V6

Nope, R J Racing disappeared in 1999, this car came later.

That's not the name that I have, but there might be a connection. If you can provide more info I can definitely consider it.

Now I'm a bit confused by this, I think it's fair to say that they definitely look the same, but whether the Fior is the same as what I have, I couldn't say for sure.

I think that PJ should get a point for his answer, but I'm not sure whether I should leave the puzzle open, as it might show a weakness in that I chose a car that doesn't exist.  ;D

Anyone else have thoughts?

I think that you can find other info about your car, and if it is confirmed that it's not a Fior,(or that there is another name for this car) than you can leave this puzzle open and leave the point to the one who find out its name.

that specific black car is a version of the Helem by a Japanese company.  unfortunately I cannot remember their name.

Maybe it was Hawk Racing?

Sorry for the late reply, you are most definitely on the right track, but it was not Hawk Racing.

The third car here is still looking for an answer, so I guess I can leave it for a day or two, but if it's not solved by then this one will enter the Solved section.

Better (way) late than never.

The name I was looking for was 'Nagaro Technologies'.

"In 2000, Nogaro-Technologies bought Helem mark by Fior, and recovered many specific tools. Then in 2001, Nogaro-Technologies built, from the Spider F99 chassis, a new Helem prototype for French GT Championship (Muratet V6 3.0 litres engine, 280 bhp, sequential 5 gearbox)".

This is the only mention of the Fior in the article that relates to this car, and I really don't know for sure what is right and what's not, but I guess I stand by my earlier decision to give Paul a point for his answer too.
