Ralt RT1 - 10-Tenths Motorsport Forum

Adam Ferrington · 1 Jul 2004, 23:19

Here is a starting list of Ralt RT1s based on :-
1) The list published in Autosport 31st March 1977 (1-70)
2) My (few) contemporary notes (71-93)
3) Ralt Chassis listing (94-167)

The headings used relate to the format of the Ralt chassis listing. Some of this data is therefore not shown for pre no. 94 chassis.

If you edit that post and put CODE tags (in square brackets) around the table, you get your intended effect:

Code:

94	Cicale	(Blank)	F2	420S	N/A	4.2.78
95	Robertson Jensen FAt	BDN	White	8.2.78
96	RobertsonTeam Cogan FAt	BDN	White	7.2.78

His the quote button on this post if you're not sure what I mean.

I can only assume that the early part of these lists gives the country of the car's destination, not the country of the purchaser. I remember Paul Bernasconi as a fairly abrasive Aussie.
I don't know if he visits TenTenths, but if he does, his face would have been a picture on reading "22 P Bernasconi (UK)"

David McKinney · 2 Jul 2004, 19:24

36 was the FAt car McMillan took to NZ 1976, and thought to be the one he’d previously raced in N America (when Cogan drove 34)

51 Nilsson F3 (not Nielson)

56 Olofsson F3

59 Wettstein

73 FAt raced by Hugh Owen NZ 1978 (believed ex-US)

88 Robertson FAt > Steve Millen in NZ 1980

91 Perkins FAt in NZ 1979 (later John Smith)

119 described by a later seller as ex-Rahal

David McKinney · 2 Jul 2004, 19:26

Just seen the cirrus note
That'll be the car Bernasconi raced in the UK
And #39 was delivered to his countryman Bruce Allison in New Zealand

Adam Ferrington · 2 Jul 2004, 23:41

Allen,

Many thanks for tabulating my data, as I hit upon the problem of editing my post (only allowed within 10 mins of posting).

Cirrus.....yes, the country quoted is the country of the car's destination or that of the agent.

I'll be off line for a week or so, so if any entries require clarification I'll deal with when I return.

Hi
Does any body know when Ralts changed their rear engern frame setup from three rods each side going from the tub and attached to the bottom of a frame that went round the gear box to having the engern frames attaching to a cross member above the gearbox?
Regards Richard Trott

RT1-31 was kept as a works rent a car. Kennedy only used it at British GP meeting in 1977

RT1-73 which went to Hugh Owen is described as ex Craig Hill [1977] car in US/Canadian Atlantic

RT1-128 would be Mike Follett who did a fullish season on it in 1978 N.American series.
RT1-119 would be Ken Duclos who also did that.

Whilst this is not an RT3 thread, would this be correct
155 Salazar
160 Rob Wilson
166 Wyatt Stanley?

I'm very curious about the RT4-162. Did this ever race in 78? If so where? I don't have an RT4 in N.America until Danny Sullivan appears in one late season in 79. This build record suggests that all the RT1s that dominate the 79 season in N.America were also mostly built 78 or earlier.

Chris

Dan Rear · 6 Jul 2004, 12:34

Chris, I suspect -155 is the Salazar car. We're still ,unsure, I think, how many other RT3s were made in 79, ISTR one being in Italy, maybe one with Schafer in Germany too. These may have been 160 and 166, as I don't think Wilson got his much before Spring 80, and Stanley slightly after that.

On RT4s, I guess -162 was the first one, that Ray M raced late in 79 at Brands, and won. I wonder whether this is the one you have Sullivan in also late in 79 ? Perhaps Ray shook it down prior to going to the US.

6 Jul 2004, 18:05

On the mention of RT4's. Any info on chassis #185. I was told it was one of the first imported to the U.S. but can't find an early history.

Chris Townsend · 7 Jul 2004, 11:24

RT4-185

This car raced in UK 1980 - 1982.
1980 with David Leslie
1981 to David Duffield
1982 used by Ray Mallock as F2 car
1984 I have still in UK running FL with James Stevenson, which information comes, I think, from Jeremy Jackson
These notes come from period journals so I rather doubt the attribution of it being an early import.
If Adam's Ralt records go on, maybe we should have a separate RT4 thread. We have very good records on RT4s in UK and Australia/NZ so might be able to sort rest out by elimination.
