1990 Nissan R90CK

This car competed in the Group C/GTP Sports Car Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007 and is seen here at McLean's Corner during a practice session.
It's the 1990 Nissan R90CK of Henry Pearman with a 3,496cc twin turbocharged V8 engine that Mark Blundell qualified on pole position for the 1990 Le Mans 24 Hour race. It was driven in that race by Mark Blundell, Julian Bailey and Gianfranco Brancatelli, but retired with engine problems in the eleventh hour of the race.

This car competed in the Group C/GTP Sports Car race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.
It's the 1990 Nissan R90CK of Nick Randall and it's seen here at McLean's Corner during a practice session. The R90CK was built for Group C racing in Europe and the similar IMSA Grand Touring Prototype (or GTP) racing series in North America. It has a 3,496cc twin turbocharged V8 engine, and Nick Randall's car is chassis NPT90-14.

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.

This time it's the Porsche 962C which was due to be driven in the Group C/GTP Sports Car race by Mark Sumpter and Mike Jordan.
