Jaguar Egal set for racing return after half a century
By: Paul Lawrence – linkage
Jun 23, 2021, 6:11 AMThe famous Galaxy-engined Jaguar E-type, known as the Egal, will be back on a UK race track in the near future after an absence of around half a century.
In the mid and late 1960s, the fearsome 7-litre one-off raced by Chris Summers and Barrie Williams was a regular winner in club racing but was later sold to America and only returned to the UK a couple of years ago.
Since then, Chris Keith-Lucas at CKL Developments has been restoring it to period specification and says there are plans to race it once more.
The car was originally built by Geoff Richardson for owner Rob Beck and Williams recalled it being fitted with a Holman and Moody Galaxy marine engine. The E-type chassis came from a semi-lightweight car, shunted by Beck at Castle Combe.
The result was a ferociously powerful car that ‘Whizzo’ Williams tamed with considerable success in club racing. However, as a one-off it never raced internationally and by the end of the 1960s was being beaten by Chevron B8s and Ginetta G12s.
After a couple of other UK owners, the project was sold to the US where it was used on the road before later starting a long restoration. Sadly, the owner passed away before the work was complete, and Keith-Lucas saw it advertised for sale.
“I went over to New York, saw it over there and verified it and then we brought it back,” said Keith-Lucas, who has secured its original registration of ‘590 DXR’ on behalf of the current owner.
“In America it grew even wider than it really ought to have, but apart from that it is very much the car and close inspection of it reveals all the old dings and dents.”
It was taken to the recent E-type 60th birthday celebrations at Shelsley Walsh and did some demonstration runs, with due regard for the Jaguar transmission which was always a weak link in period.
“I wasn’t doing tyre-burning starts, that would twist the propshaft like a toffee wrapper,” said Keith-Lucas.
“I’ve got the dyno figures where it has over 600 foot pounds of torque, so it’s really an absolute monster.
“We do have plans to run it. It is a complication because a car like this was never homologated.
“It did a huge amount of British club racing, but it didn’t do international events, so that limits what you can do. But there are a number of race organisers in this country who’d love to see it in their events.”
Perfect.

Glickenhaus 007 LMH (Le Mans Hypercar): 3.5L Twin-Turbo V8 Sound in Action at Monza!
19Bozzy92
Mar 7, 2021I’m not sure if in these last weeks I’ve received more requests for a new binaural video or to try and record the new Glickenhaus race car testing here in Monza a couple of days ago. Anyway at the moment I want to satisfy your second request. This two-days session was just the second test the 007 did after a first shakedown at Vallelunga last week and, for what I saw, everything went very very well.
This car will be Glickenhaus Racing’s weapon for the whole 2021 World Endurance Championship season, which includes the 24h Le Mans race too, and it has been built to fit in the new ‘Le Mans Hypercar’ class. FIA and ACO expect these cars to lap ‘La Sarthe’ in around 3’30”, which is 15 seconds slower than the old LMP1s and 5 seconds slower than LMP2s (but these prototypes will already have 40 hp less in 2021 compared to previous seasons, so lap times are expected to increase for them too).
The Glickenhaus 007 LMH is powered by a bespoke engine built and developed by French company Pipo Motours, famous for their history of engine manufacturers for WRC, rallycross and hillclimb cars. It’s a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with flat-plane cranckshaft with a max power output not over 500 kW/670hp, as per rules. The car must also have a minimum weight of 1,030 kg. In this project there are other important companies involved such as the Italian Podium Advanced Technologies, which assembles and designed the car, Sauber which takes care of the aerodynamic part and Joest Racing which helps in the development of the 007.
The confirmed drivers of the two 007 LMHs for the 2021 season are Romain Dumas, Ryan Briscoe, Gustavo Menezes, Olivier Pla, Pipo Derani, Richard Westbrook and Franck Mailleux. Watch it in action around Monza Circuit driven by Pipo Derani, Romain Dumas and Ryan Briscoe!

While I do enjoy the movie on many levels, and I’m glad the story is being told, this is perhaps the most disappointing part of the historical inaccuracies. They also gloss over the fact that Miles won at Daytona w/ Lloyd Ruby and took first in class at Sebring (behind the Chapparral 2A) w/ Bruce McLaren, both in 1965.
This magnificent BMW CSL Group A was produced by BMW between 1983 and 1986. Adorned in its famous rainbow livery, it competed in the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) under the banner of the Eggenberger team. However, in the 1985 season, Eggenberger switched to the new Volvo 245 and BMW Italia set up its own team to keep on competing in the ETCC. Back then, Italy was BMW’s second most important market after Germany, and the BMW Italia team (which later became ‘Cibiemme) proved itself to be a strong contender on the touring stage in the 1980s and 1990s.

Cool beans
Cougars are cool. Always loved them, right from the start. The styling just does something to me as it does with so many beloved classics.
My cousin Rick had one when I was a kid and they were new. I loved it, not least because it had the 390 in it, Cougar Eliminator, eh, but, sadly, I never got a ride in it, or even sat in it. Too busy, I guess. Sigh.
They didn’t do much on the circuit, if I remember correctly, but it was cool seeing them out there dicing it up.

I’m drawing a blank here. And I don’t like that. Anyone know? Please comment 🙂
The engines are clueless; and typically only list no info Pinterest results, usually, which is nearly as useless as tits on a bull for getting image file info.
Besides, I’ve been kicked off Pinterest now, anyway. LOL
