Hope someone can help, I was involved with and drove for Chas Berger Motorsport back in the mid to late 1990's. Althought I mainly raced Caterhams I did help with some test driving for the GT1 Ultima they ran in the Priviledge Insurance British GT championships. It was Cossie powered and originally had a Porsche box that I remember gave no end of problems. It wasnt the best car but I do remember one day at a very cold crisp Snett when we ran it with out the restricter and it went like an absolute missle, to this day its the fastest I have ever been in a race car!. I am trying to get hold of some pictures of it and would be grateful if anyone could post any.

Thanks

NB.

Hi, I know this is a really old post but I have only just found it.

I actually worked on the car for a short time while I was at Chas Berger as a junior mechanic, in 1999 when the car was in the black colour scheme with orange and grey graphics.

The car was quick, and handled. If I remember rightly it was running a Hewland LD 5 Speed H pattern behind the Cosworth YBT.

Thanks for bringing back some happy memories.
