Its a Pilbeam MP84 that ran in the FIA SCC in the SR2 class. The car had a 3.0ltr Nissan v6 DOHC 4v engine. When it raced at Donnington it was driven by Warren Carway and Martin O'Connell. The team was Rowan Racing. http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-26-photo.html

Thank you a lot! I also have a few driver's photos from autograph sessions:
 According to the information I have it is this year Spa 24 hours. The first two drivers are Andrea Bertolini and Philipp Peter, but I don't know who is the third.  Unknown track, maybe Monza. I have an idea that the drivers are Nicolas Minassian, Jamie-Campbell Walter, Jaime Melo and Jean-Philippe Belloc. But how could they all be together??? So something should be wrong here...  Road America in 2005. The first two are Olivier Beretta and Oliver Gavin, but who is next? Again thank you for the help |

But neverhteless this photo seems to be the biggest mistery. It's Ortelli in Oreca's uniform, right? If so the year should be 2005. In 2005 his partners were Gounon and McNish. The next driver on the photo doesn't look like Gounon, so it should be McNish. Ortlelli has raced with McNish only at Silverstone 2005. But there weren't Melo and Balloc present, were they? So again ??? |

Could be from one of his WTCC races, he drives a Seat Toledo for the Oreca team there as well. But then McNish doesn't fit in again... (it does seem to be McNish on his left).

I would assume that the race is the 2005 Spa 24h. Ortelli would be present due to his GruppeM drive, Nic and JC-W drove for Russian Age in the 550, and Melo and Belloc were in GPC 575s. Seems to make sense, right?

But what if we assume that it is LMES round at Silverstone 2005, and isn't Melo and Belloc on the right but somebody else?

I can't find JCW on that picture I must say. The only one I can give a positive ID on (well, even my mother could
 ) is Ortelli. And I really think the guy on his left is McNish. Imho that means that would have been at Silverstone, but then those guys next to them aren't Mello and Belloc. Those overalls seem to be GPC's though, so those should be two drivers of the Luca Drudi/Gabrio Rosa/Fabio Babini trio then.

However, Ortelli appears to be wearing Porsche overalls IMHO, so I'd guess Spa 24hours this year

OK, I've actually looked at the photo instead of assuming that what people were saying about the drivers in it was correct, and I now believe that it is a Silverstone LMES pic. Ortelli's jumpsuit looks much like his Oreca one, to be honest. The person to his left (right in the pic) does look like McNish. Could the Pirelli boys be Kinch/Kirkaldy rather than GPC drivers? I thought with the exception of Babini the #99 drivers were older...
