Can anyone out there help with a report of the 1973 Fuji 500 as contested by the works Cologne Capris? All I knwo is that Jacky Ickx and Allan Moffat drove for Ford.

From the top of my head, Jochen Mass and Toine Hezemans drove as well; one of them won IIRC. The Capri's featured a rear spoiler for the first time, which was allowed by the Japanese rules.
I'll cover this race on my site (go.to/touringcars) in the near future. |

No.2 car was driven by Jochen Mass and Dieter Glemser.
No.3 was by Toine Hezemans and Alan Moffat. No.2 car won and No.3 retired at 71laps of 133lap race. I have a magazine of "Fuji TT preview" issue by accident. Result was found out at JAF site. |

Beejay17,
Preview is consisted of 10pages in Japanese. So I am reluctant to translate it into English. What do you want to know? |

The involvement of Allan Moffat. At this stage all I know is that he may have been a late replacement for Jackie Stewart, who announced his retirement and didn't go. Moffat may not feature in the article if he was a late replacement. Also, what kind of opposition did they have? Who were they entered under? Was it Ford Germany (Cologne)?
Thanks. |

fndc, where did you find it on the JAF site? I've been looking for it, but couldn't find it (I did find the 87/88 Fuji results however). Could you give the URL please?

Beejay17,
Jackie Stewart was listed as a member as you wrote. But this magazine doubts his participation. Entry list was not given,so I don't know details of the team. Frank, URL is below. http://www.jaf.or.jp/ms/owa/ms_www_r..._id=1973000518 |

Thanks. No wonder I couldn't find it, its ever more Japanese that the 1987 results. Still, I now know the number of finishers, ALL starting numbers, all DNF's and a few car types (I recognize a few Mazda RX 3's). That's a nice start, I'll see what I can make from that.
Thanks! |

Race was held at 4th November.
It is unclear how to start the race. |

The race was started in a sort of classic le mans fashion. The co-drivers had to run across the track and touch the car, before the car could start the race. Hezemans did not wait for this, and was blackflagged - he had to stop and start again.
