Elise GT1

Does anyone know what happened to the different race chassis?

I know there was one in the original GT90's races at Silverstone in about 2007, one of the Frank Muller cars and there was one for sale in the USA in green and yellow a few years back as well but finding out about the whereabouts of the remaining chassis seems to be impossible.

Any ideas?

Did a bit of digging.

One of the Thai sponsored cars pictured here.

Was for sale by Carugati in Switzerland in 2012, probably still there maybe?

Same guy appears to have seen one of the Franck Muller cars too

Fabien Giroix ran a Franck Muller car in the GT90's series way back when, could very well be the same car though it appears to be in a bit of a state here.

Pistonheads themselves had this story from 2002, appears to be one of the GBF cars because the front end is different to normal.

Cheers for the info Steve. So glad to hear one of them is being restored at least, any ideas where the car was before the current owner?

I know the one in Mike Hezemans kart place is one of the Bitter GT1's, I've no idea if they were existing Elise GT1 chassis converted or new chassis though?

EDIT - According to Wikipedia they were two Elise GT1 chassis so that means 4 still exist.

One in the Midlands, two in France/Switzerland based on that link I posted, one somewhere else (perhaps the green/yellow one that appears for sale in the UK occasionally)?

I wonder if the yellow/black Franck Muller car in the link is the one Fabien Giroix raced in the original GT90's race at Silverstone in 2007.

That's amazing.

Looks like Bitter bodywork?

Perhaps this was the one in the Midlands undergoing restoration?
