Racing Triumph Vitesse, 1980s? Any details, please

[tapkaJohnD]

I started racing my Vitesses in the mid 90s, and I thought I knew all the Vitesses that were racing then or before that. But this one is new to me!
Looking at it, the words short and merry come to mind, esp. as it probably has a V8, so maybe it had long gone before I was on the scene.

Looks to be Donington, ANOther guesses mid-80s, but can anyone give me more?

Thanks,
John

I would say a little later, the car in the right front looks like a mk3 Fiesta shape that was introduced in 1990.
I agree with it being Donington

May be worth visiting the history section of www.ten-tenths.com.

There are some very knowledgable people over there, i predict they will have an answer in no time.

Looks mental though!

Thnaks for that idea! It paid off, up to point.
Turn sout there were two cars entered that day (Someone had a programme!!!!!!) by Banzai Racing, the other being a, sort of, Triumph GT6.




The owner was one Julian Mendus. Anyone know him, or of him?

What year was it, out of interest?

[tapkaJohnD]

The GT6 was Brands 1998.
The Vitesse was Donington, NOT the same event as I wrote above.
Could Mr.Mendus have totalled his car Vitese between?

More info. Mendus became active in SuperStox. last heard of in 2002, so I'm closing in!

Have to say, closer up it looks even more of a shed!
