Now if you said, "Harrier", I'd agree, but again they still showed in the National championships. |

Forgot to mention - I also recall seeing a GC287/9 at Castle Combe in a Special GT round. It was run by a gent from Broadstairs and was ex-Tim Harvey.

Tim Lee Daveys car was a GC84 chassis with a DFL think updated to 85 spec. It caught fire while testing with Chris Hodgetts at Brno and burned out due to a lack of fire extinguishers close to hand........

I think it was actually a GC83, the original Group C Tiga. Raced by Bellm/Crang/Spice in late 83, with a Chevy in C1, then modified into a C2 for the 1984 season, very successfully.
TLD bought it from Bellm for the 85 season, while the latter and Spice built the GC85 for C2. TLD used it in T'Sports from 1985, then into 1986 with the turbo DFL, which as you say burnt out at Brno. Shame as it had started to go better, IIRC there was a good article in MN in mid-86 about Tim and the project. Would have been nice to see the car alongside the Tiga Lambo taking on the 962s/Jags/Sauber into 1987! |
