Alpine
1973 Rally de Monte Carlo, Alpine-Renault A110. At this time, the Monte Carlo rally was a regularity rally, with teams beginning competition in 9 different cities across Europe.

Victory going to Andruet and his female co-pilot “Biche” a pseudonym for Michèle Petit.

Aston Martin
1977 Le Mans 24h, Aston Martin DBS V8. This very exotic Aston Martin V8 was developed by Robin Hamilton and started its competition career already in 1974 as a group 4 car. In 1977, the engine now delivered a fine 520 hp, which was 100 less than the Group 5 Porsche 935’s. So Hamilton decided to enter the car in the GTP-category and was allowed a wider rear spoiler. The team narrowly qualified on the last row but finished Le Mans in 17th position and took 3rd in GTP behind an Inaltera (Rondeau) and WM.

1979 Le Mans 24h, Aston Martin DBS V8 turbo. After a year absence, Robin Hamilton returned to Le Mans in 1979. The car had gone through quite a transformation, the most important being turbocharged.

1972 Nürburgring 1000 km, Porsche 914/6. Eckhard Schimpf was the PR/sponsor manager from Jägermeister. In the early years, a lot of his budget went to Porsche teams from Kremer and Max Moritz.
