The ultimate F1, just 10 'Longtails' were created for the 1997 FIA GT series of Le Mans. As their name indicates, they were stretched fore and aft like their 1997 F1 equivalents, had an enlarged rear wing, and were powered by a BMW V12 engine. Right out of the gate, these cars won the first three races in a row.
The supreme dual-purpose car, this particular Longtail is one of only three GTR Longtails that is licensed for the street. Driven by Gary Ayles and Chris Goodwin, it finished sixth overall at the Nurburgring in Germany, Silverstone in England, and Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium in 1997. It also competed that season at Le Mans, where it was driven by Keiichi Tsuchiya, Akihiko Nakaya, and Ayles but did not finish, and at the A-1 Ring in Austria, Suzuka in Japan, Donington Park in England, Mugello in Italy, and Laguna Seca in Monterey, California. Its current owner acquired the Longtail in 2018.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2023
