hi. I bought me a book the other day, with many good pictures, but I'm struggling with reading (thank god for google translate)
the book's title is: Einfach eine GEILE ZEIT deutsche rennsport-meisterschaft 1972-1985 I thought it might be a good book tip, especially for the German-speaking out there |

Hi r2d2,
That book is Fantastic!!, I too struggle with the German but the photos are Great. Would have been just brilliant to have been around to see all those Gp 5 cars go at once. I am preparing my car for a big meeting at Hampton Downs in Auckland later this month. The theme for the meet is BMW in Motor-sport, I will do my best to fly the Ford flag. Cheers, Gary. |

Hi All,
I know this is not quite the right place for Historic racing now but he goes anyway. I figure I am making history with the Zak!! Some photos from the recent BMW Festival at Hampton Downs in Auckland and also from Skope Classic in Christchurch. Some good video on Youtube, "Ford Zakspeed Escort". Car ran like clock work. Cheers, Gary. |

Hi Jd,
This is the same livery as the photos I have of this car also with links to Mike Meetam. I would be quite sure this is one of the cars built up in Asia, as it has the Gp2 style wings and the Gp5 front splitter. Cheers, Gary. |

Can anyone tell me what rear wheel tubs Zakspeed used on their cars? The same were used on the Cologne Capris. Pics on this page

I think he's been around the Scandinavian saloon scene for many years. Had an M3 at one point maybe?

What wing mirrors did the zakspeed Gr2 escorts run?
where they the same as gr5 escorts and the gr2 capris? Im sure they were off something 'random' but a stock item |

With regards to the wing mirrors.
From my research the Gp2 cars and the early Gp5 cars ran the same item. I am sure they came of some Opel Mantas!! The mirrors were know as Englmann Mirrors. Hope this helps! |

Hi Gary, assume that is a typo and you meant 'Engelmann'? There was / is also a Chinese copy branded 'Victory' that looks the same.
Either way Jonathan, Opel and other owners clubs probably only place you will find them for sale! Or Thailand.... Type 'Manta 400 mirror' into a well known on-line auction site. |

Hi All,
Got this book,yes it is in German. However the DRM was a German Championship so I suppose German is to be expected. I found this book very good, "every picture say a thousand words" Cheers, Gary. |

I think you'll find that Google Translate works on the German Language. Last edited by chunterer; 23 Oct 2012 at 14:20. |
