M O D E L S : M G F C u p C a r s
I have taken some pictures, while the MGF Cup was visiting the circuit of Spa Francorchamps. Techspeed provided all the information and showed us all the details.
The specifications of such a race car can be found at the bottom of this page.
The Cup cars at Spa (in the paddock and the pitlane), the same pictures as found under Meeting, Treffen 2001.
The Cupcars going through the busstop chicane, most of the time on three wheels...
Visiting Techspeed - very interesting- Clearly visible are the sealed engine, AP Racing brakes with grooved discs, the ITG-airfilter box and the dry sump.
