Jaguar XJR-12D

This car competed in the 2 hour long British Empire Trophy race for Group C Endurance Cars at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.

It's the 1993 Jaguar XJR-12D of Nick Rini which was developed from the Group C XJR-12 for the US IMSA series. The XJR-12 was produced with a 7 litre V12 engine, but the programme of the Silverstone event quotes this car's capacity as 7.4 litres. There's a brief note about the car in the programme that says:

'The Silverstone grid will be graced by a pair of XJR-12s, one of them built for the IMSA series. This is the number 32 car, this weekend scheduled to be raced by Nick Rini and former Jaguar F1 test driver Tomas Scheckter,'

On 3 April 2017 I showed a photograph that I'd taken of what is apparently the same car at Donington Park in 2005 where it was described as a 1990 model.

Spice SE90C

This is Redgate, the first corner of the first lap of the race for Group C/GTP Cars at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005.

The leader, number 21, is the 1990 Spice SE90C Cosworth of David Mercer. Behind him is the number 18 Aston Martin AMR-1 of Paul Whight and Gavan Kershaw and on the outside number 70 is a Ford Dallara DP Prototype that isn't listed in the programme of the event. The red and blue number 12 is the Spice-Chevrolet GTP car of Jim Mullen, and you can just see the nose of the number 32 Jaguar XJR-12D of Nick Rini.

This car competed in the race for Group C/GTP Cars at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005.

It's Nick Rini's 7½ litre 1990 Jaguar XJR-12D. The XJR-12D ran in the IMSA series in the USA from 1990 to 1993, taking in the Daytona 24 Hour and the Sebring 12 Hour races. The car is pictured here during the race at Redgate corner.

BRM P160

This is another car which took part in the Grand Prix Masters race at the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004.

It's a 1971 Yardley sponsored BRM P160 of 1971. The car isn't listed in the programme, but it appears to be the car in which Peter Gethin won the 1971 Italian Grand Prix in a race which until the 2003 Italian Grand  Prix was the fastest Formula One race of all time, and it is still the closest finish ever. In 2004 it was owned by the American Nick Rini.
