I can just about remember seing them at the Donnington Park non-championship race in '80 (i was 8). We were there with Jim Evans who was racing his 'Esprit' in the Gr5 class, he qualified well but i don't believe he raced. I digress. Anyway, i've loved those Zakspeeds ever since.

I looked into what i could find out about them on the net and came across this site which is pretty comprehensive and is still updated:
