    FIA HTP Datsun 240Z Period G2 1970-1971 GTS21 - Wheels

    I agree - it is really difficult to navigate through all of this. Whilst 15" wheels are accepted there is nothing I can find to say what the maximum width they should be - I know that in the past anything up to 8 inch wide wheels have been accepted (and I have this documented) I also have a set...

    FIA HTP Datsun 240Z Period G2 1970-1971 GTS21 - Wheels

    Not particularly for LMC but yes I have got an entry. Just curious as to what wheels people raced with in period...

    FIA HTP Datsun 240Z Period G2 1970-1971 GTS21 - Wheels

    I am not sure the FIA now issue G3 HTPs? I thought it was only G1 & G2 with FIA 3023 homologation used for their so called "G2" category but again I could be wrong. Whichever group it all stems back to the Series Productions Touring Cars section with the condition that "as long as there are...

    FIA HTP Datsun 240Z Period G2 1970-1971 GTS21 - Wheels

    I am confusing myself on this point I think... Appendix K states: So then I go to Appendix J 1970 and presumably the Datsun 240Z comes under "series production Grand Touring Cars" (more than 1,000 made). This section then refers the reader to the rules being the same as Group 1 (series...

    FIA HTP Datsun 240Z Period G2 1970-1971 GTS21 - Wheels

    I would be very interested if anyone has any information on wheels (not tyres) that the 240z ran in period 70/71 when racing (competition) and especially interested if anyone has any photos of them. As I understand it, the FIA will accept certain types of wheel if you can prove that they were...

    ? Prove worthy of what?! Why would anyone want to hide the spec of a car especially amongst club members?

    PS will be sticking some onboard footage and data up under the car profile on MotorBrag.com in due course if anyone is interested.

    Maybe we should try again with a period correct looking car in 2026! I feel a project coming on and I respect your views Alan.

    Sorry, yes I knew that about the car and the story - I am not aware of the complete car specification though and did not know whether the complete car had been destroyed or whether it or part of it was salvaged in some way.

    Le Mans Classic 6/7/8 July 2018

    Ah had not realised that it has been altered since then. A bit strange that it did not get an entry to LMC at the time but I guess if this was more than 10 years ago things have probably changed since then. I do not know the full details of the original car or what happened to it. Would be...

    Le Mans Classic 6/7/8 July 2018

    I would love to know who owns it and what their plans are for the car - basically as much information as possible. Do we know of any other cars out there that are true to the original Le Mans car and have their papers for racing?

    Just interested in tracking the replica car down as it sounds like a really interesting car. Does anyone know where it is now? Or have any photos of it?

    I also just wanted to say a big thank you to the club for all your support and help during the weekend. Special thanks to John Palmer!

    Le Mans Classic 6/7/8 July 2018

    “The car was built in Japan - using many parts of the type originally used at Le Mans in 1975 and 1976, and with great effort to accurately represent the original 1975 entry - and yet it was rejected on grounds that proved the organising committee had no clue what had actually raced in the '75...
