1989 Jaguar XJR-10

This car took part in the British Empire Trophy Race for IMSA GTP and Group C Endurance cars at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.

It's the 1989 Jaguar XJR-10 of Don Law Racing that was driven in the race by Justin Law. The car is powered by the V6 3,000cc turbocharged version of the Jaguar JRV-6 engine and was intended for racing in the American IMSA Series - a 3,498cc version of the engine was used in the Jaguar XJR-11 that competed in the Group C World Sports-Prototype Championship. The engine was based on that used in the MG Rover 6R4 Group C racing car and had twin overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and two Garrett turbochargers.

Group C/GTP Sports Cars

This is a photograph of the leaders rounding Redgate Corner at the start of the Group C/GTP Sports Car Race during the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.

Leading is Justin Law in his 7 litre V12 1990 Jaguar XJR-12 and alongside him is the 3 litre flat-six twin turbo Porsche 962C 0f Mark Sumpter. Behind the Jaguar is the 7.2 litre V8 1991 Intrepid RM-1 of Brian Devries and further back the dark blue car is the 3.5 litre V8 1990 Nissan R90C of Nick Randall. At the rear is the V8 1990 Spice SE90 Chevrolet of Fredy Kumschick and behind the Porsche is another car, but I can't make out what it is.

Jaguar XJR-12

There was a Group C/GTP Sports Car race at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007 and here is one of the cars which took part in that race.

It's a 1990 Jaguar XJR-12, driven in the race by Justin Law and here seen in the pit garage. The programme of the event said this about the car:

'Well-known historic hotshot Justin Law will be racing the Jaguar XJR-12 this weekend. Part of the established father-and-son team running Don Law Racing, Justin has burned up the tracks in his inimitably flamboyant and hard-charging style all over the world as he has progressed from a Jaguar Mk2 to Group C. He has also driven a Lister Storm to 2nd at the Spa 24 Hours (2003). The XJR-12 he will be piloting this weekend ran at Le Mans in 1990 driven by Ferte/Jones/Perez-Sala, but did not finish. When it retired from the tracks in 1993 it spent a decade in the TWR museum before being revived.'

Tom Walkinshaw Racing entered four of the XJR-12 cars in the 1990 Le Mans race, two of them failed to finish but the other two finished in first and second places.

Here's Justin Law at the Old Hairpin during a practice session......
