GTR wings
When I was in the running to buy an original wing end plate, I searched in my archives for the correct one.
And then realized there were so many wings and wing end plates too. So, a topic about just the GTR rear wings. Let'start with the shorttail GTR's #01R during a GTR test #01R at LeMans 1995 #02R at LeMans 1995 #02R 1996 British GT #03R Castrol #03R West #03R 1996 LeMans, a very special version imo #04R Gulf #04R art #05R MVR #05R 1995 LeMans #06R model not used much #06R current #06R current #06R Eurosport #06R LeMans, racing is dirty, is better #08R current #10R with covers on the wing adjustment mechanism end #12R Suzuka #12R current #18R clear view The longtail GTR's #19R Lark #19R test #19R LeMans #20R very smal plates #20R slightly different than current #20R current #22R big wing end plate, and the actual one which is in my living room , just before the crash at Spa 1997 #22R small straight wing end plate #22R LeMans 1998, same as current #22R current Some pics of #22R right wing end plate, used and lost in Spa 1997 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...&postcount=261 I'm interested in the different shapes you have, please post them Off course, there are a lot of other colours schemes, but the shape difference is more interesting imo this is just a start |

Re: GTR wings
About long tails, you can add the 2 Schnitzer who had really specific end plates during Spa practice 1997.
Also, the 2 Schnitzer and the 3 Gulf Team Davidoff, during pre-qualifying Le Mans 1997 had some "Aluminium feet". Edit: About your 2 pics from #20R in Le Mans are for me the same. Maybe the gurney is little bigger on the second one...but more probably it's only an optical effect. Edit 2 : Add #24R which get unik end plates |

#20R correct, I made a mistake, both the same pics in LeMans the one I wanted to show, at the presentation in LeMans city center and #24R, what's unique on the end plates? the support brackets are different (like the #20R LeMans presentation), which looks like an inboard wing control system |

Re: GTR wings
This Thread is great! Another detail view to GTR's!
Just thought, that atleast 2 or 3 longtails wore that "extra big" rear wing in Helsinki's race. Both FINA's and atleast one Davidoff GULF had that wing. Here end of the main straight; #21R gets past by #25R.
