HELP.. Can anyone identify these BMW's?
I took these pictures in 1996 at Brands Hatch and am trying to identify the history of these cars from around 1976!
I would also be interested to find out if they are still racing today... http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/ga...5-29w.jpg.html http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/ga...5-22w.jpg.html http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/ga...5-36w.jpg.html |

I did a small painting of the UFO BMW for Pierre Dieudonné many years ago. I may still have a copy of it somewhere.

The last one (6) belonged to the late Tim Busby until his sad passing a few years back. Lovely bloke; always happy to talk about the car. I have a poster of it in front of me.

I remeber all 3 cars very well.
The Castrol Massive (chandeliers) was normally driven by Alain Peltier and Alain Demol and obviously run by Luigi Racing. Did very well in the Group 2 European Championship. But they had other drivers on that car as well. The green Juma BMW Italia run car was driven by Eddy Joosen and Umberto Grano. Both drivers were fast, but that car somehow never ran that well. The UFO (jeans) car was driven by Jean Xhenceval, Luigi's brother in law. Somehow it was a lot faster than the rest, but hardly did any running in the group 2 EC. It went like hell in the Belgian championship. |

No, only the UFO and Castrol Massive car were run by Luigi. The other was a joined effort by Juma / BMW Italia.
Juma in those days was run by Julien Mampaey, father of todays Juma boss in the WTCC. Mampaey and Eddy Joosen were close friends. Luigi had several more cars over the years, most were run at national level. |
