Title: 24 hour winner race RX7!
Post by: HaywardRotary on March 14, 2012, 05:02:45 PM
here is TWR Spa 24 hour race winner from 1981 having some work done at our workshop.
It was driven by Tom Walkinshaw and Pierre Dudonne
This car beat many different makes such as Camaro 6 liter V8s and Ford Capris and Mustangs and the like in 1981.
We had the priviledge a few years back in 2004 of building a fresh race engine for it and it went back to Spa and did a 6 hour race and then quite a few other historic races over the last few years.
Here it is again about to have a refresh. It should be out at Donnington Park in May.
