The racing version of the F1 that went to Le Mans in June, the GTR, was only slightly modified from the standard road-going model. The regulations pegged its power below 600bhp, so the racer was actually slightly less powerful. The GTRs also had to be fitted with steel roll-cages, the steering rack ratios were quicker, and the rubber bushing in the suspension was removed.

Development of downforce was limited to a single day in the wind-tunnel under Murray’s direction, while the OZ Racing wheels concealed even larger discs and calipers.

Bellm loved the car. “As a result of the changes, it didn’t load up in the same way [as the standard car] and you could really zip it around,” he revealed.

The fact that the F1 GTR entree by Tokyo Ueno Clinic Team went on to win the famed endurance classic at the first attempt underlined the integrity of the original design. There was also a simple moral correctness to such a car being victorious at Le Mans: the F1 GTR was essentially a road car, which is what Le Mans had originally been about. Seven GTRs started, apart from the winners, four finished third, fourth, fifth and 13th.[/quote]
