Who knows this race car?

Experts?

A Toj , lookd like a drawing possibly an evolution of the original , though never made

grobmotorix · « **Reply #3 on:** May 10, 2011, 05:41:30 AM »

I´m quite sure it is no TOJ.

The name I have is the one of a quite well known automobile building company.

And I do not think they had the help of TOJ ("Team Obermoser Jörg").

The distance would have been ways too big....

Would this be a concept drawing of the 1998 Williams/BMW sports racer?

CanAm car?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #8 on:** May 11, 2011, 01:22:40 PM »

Planned as a group 6 car it finally ran in only one race (afaik).

Serenissima, driven by johnathan williams at the Norisring, based on a Mac Laren MI chassis

I´ve found one photo of this racing car showing it at one of its very rare races:

Regarding the front end I would guess there must be a BMW connection.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #13 on:** May 18, 2011, 03:12:47 PM »

Not at all, I´m sorry...

faksta · « **Reply #14 on:** May 18, 2011, 03:43:28 PM »

It really looks European, but judging by your replies, may well be American.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** May 18, 2011, 03:45:24 PM »

Europe - no

America, North or South - no...

reworked GRD probably in Japan

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** May 19, 2011, 02:03:10 AM »

I do not know what GRD means, but it is indeed from Japan.

shamrock · « **Reply #18 on:** May 19, 2011, 02:57:58 AM »

GRD ( GROUP RACING DEVELOPEMENTS) a race cae manafacturer set up on the demise of Lotus as a supplier of customer racing cars , they built a 2L G6 racer , which went on to form the basis od the TOJ range and they sold cars to Japan for thier series so I assume we have a Japanese racer here .

grobmotorix · « **Reply #19 on:** May 19, 2011, 03:32:32 AM »

Hmmm, you might be right partly.

I do not know too much details about it, but I do agree with the "2l G6 racer"

But it ran under a well known japanese car maker´s flag.

So I think your research results are good enough to declare this puzzle:

LOCKED for 24h for you!

shamrock · « **Reply #20 on:** May 19, 2011, 03:49:06 AM »

SINCE MY LAST REPLY I HAVE DUG DEEP AND HAVE ISUZU AS THE JAPANESE MANAFACTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR , REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE .

grobmotorix · « **Reply #21 on:** May 19, 2011, 05:56:34 AM »

Right you are!

I do not really know how you´ve managed to identify this, but it is indeed an 2l G6 Isuzu racing car.

I´m not totally sure about its model designation, but I think it is "Isuzu Spider 2000" and it ran at the 1973 Fuji 300km as I can recall from my memory.

I´ll check these dat when I´ll be back from work.

But this is definitly your point!

shamrock · « **Reply #22 on:** May 19, 2011, 06:42:12 AM »

only 1 pont ,

grobmotorix · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2011, 07:45:31 AM »

I think I only gave you one point (31 to 32).
