Ultima Sport in GT Classic Racing

Hi, pleasant surprise to see this great looking Sport tangling with the Vipers, 993 RSRs in GT classics.

Apparently first outing in many years - not quite on the pace but finished a creditable sixth

Yes, that's correct, it was a six speed Quaife sequential.

It was at the Nogaro Historic Racing festival in the south west of France.

It is the first year I have seen this series. They could do with a few more cars on the grid, although still an interesting line-up including a Gillet Vertigo, TVR Tuscan, and Honda NSX Turbo.

I'm not sure in what class the Ultima was running as it was an unlisted entry but, apparently, it will be racing again at Dijon in early October.

More detail here, if that's of any help: http://www.hvmracing.fr/index.php?c=24
