Back story

In 1990 I joined Peter Davies in a company called Artec, in Corby.

I designed for Artec a range of cars  which we will include in the website anon, basicly aimed at the Caribbean market, through Jamaica, where Peter had spent a lot of time and had many friends.

 

He was a friend of Tom Wheatcroft, who owned the Donnington race circuit.   Tom had a huge collection of past Grand Prix cars and had an ambition to produce  a classic styled race car. 

He wanted to create a supporting event/race for all F1 races around the world.  A grid of identical classic styled  GP cars with modern mechanicals where you could see the drivers at work, elbows, drifting through the corners etc.

 

Various F1 designers had had a go at designing the car for Tom but none were right.

I started doing sketches for him.  The first two were not right, then this one, exactly what he wanted. 

I found the perfect powertrain in the GM Lotus Omega.  Straight 6 and 5 speed manual transmission.

 

Unfortunatley I left the company before the cars were built and some moron Changed everything, including shortening it so it ended p more like and American dirt racer than the elegant European racer.

 

Anyhow this line drawing and the associated coloured drawing I did for Tom  is how it should have been.
