BRITISH GT Silverstone : doublé des Aston Martin Vantage GT3

 par Claude Foubert (endurance-info.com)

Les concurrents du British GT étaient ce week-end à Silverstone pour la troisième manche du Championnat 2014. Les Aston Martin Vantage GT3 ont fait un doublé dans le Northamptonshire, avec la deuxième victoire de la saison pour Ahmad Al Harthy et Michael Caine (Aston Martin Oman Racing Team n°4).

Les deux hommes ont gagné cette troisième manche avec une avance confortable de près d’une minute sur leurs seconds, le champion 2013 Andrew Howard et Jonny Adam (Aston Martin Beechdean AMR n°1).

Initialement, Steven Kane, à bord de la Bentley Continental GT3 M-Sport n°17 dont il partage le volant avec Rembert Berg, avait terminé troisième, mais les commissaires lui ont infligé une pénalité de 30 secondes après la course pour un contact dont il a été jugé responsable avec la BMW Z4 n°79 de l’Ecurie Ecosse de Marco Attard et Alexander Sims qui ont donc hérité de cette troisième place.

Nouvelle victoire Ginetta en GT4, la Ginetta G55 n°46 du Twisted Team Parker de Adrian Barwick et Bradley Ellis l’a emporté de haute lutte devant la Ginetta n°41 du team Optimum pilotée par Ryan Ratcliffe et Matt Draper, la Vantage GT4 TF Sport n°49 de Andrew Jarman et Devon Modell prenant la troisième place.

Unique Alfa Romeo 6C wins Coppa d'Oro at Villa d'Este 2014

Italian collector Corrado Lopresto is always good for a surprise – and this year he impressed the audience, with his Aprile-bodied Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport Spider Corsa claiming the coveted Coppa d’Oro...

Lopresto’s striking milk-white and teal-blue Alfa roadster is not strictly original. It began life as a 1931 6C 1750 GS with Zagato bodywork and, after being crashed, was bought by Giuseppe Aprile in 1938. Aprile’s own carrozzeria then set about creating more modern coachwork, with the design drawn up by Count Revelli de Beaumont. Lopresto acquired the car in 2008, restoring it to its 1938 configuration – and narrowly missed out on a class win at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours. Back on its home turf, the unique Alfa was awarded the coveted Coppa d’Oro.

Pitch Perfect: But Can You Pick Them?

While the big news coming out of Nissan this week might be its GT-R at Le Mans announcement, the Japanese automaker isn’t forgetting its roots. The Zama Heritage Car Garage in Japan is home to some of Nissan’s most historically significant vehicles from the last 80-plus years, and included in the collection is a large number of motorsport icons. As the clip above goes to show; these relics don’t spend all of their time locked up indoors either – which is very cool.

What’s even cooler is the quiz Nissan has put together, which challenges you to match tuned engine notes to the correct restored classic Nissan/Datsun race car. There are five drives-bys to listen to, and the machines range from a 1964 Skyline Prince GT through to a 1983 Nissan 240RS Group B rally car.

If you think you know your L-series from your A-series and your FJs; give it a watch then let us know how many you managed to get right in the comments section below. Furthermore, if you could pick one to put in your garage, which would it be?
