PI Magazine -- Number 107 .

Page 28 . We can read :
" ... this is a photograph taken in the seventies of a factory Group 5 race car .... The driver and team are unknown .

1. The car is a Group 4 not a Group 5. Built April / May 1972.
2.Photo taken in 1976 or most probably 1977 .
3.Owner of the time : Team Willeme in Belgium .
4.Driver(s) : René Tricot or Claude Bourgoignie .
5.Chassis # : 2860 .
6.General condition of the time : poor , lethal , yes lethal .
7.I bought the car December 1977 and totally rebuilt from bare metal . Still own the car . Believe me the car is not in the very poor condition you can see on the picture , ask Mike Drew !
8. I am 100% positive that the photo represents 2860 , I recognize details off 1977 .
9. Comments or questions ? Write me to my current E- Mail address : gdt2860@gmail.com

For those forum members not familiar with Guy Trigaux, he's one of the gentleman who raced the Pantera during its first season in the World Endurance Racing series, 1972. Guy I feel fortunate that you've chosen to post on the forums. I hope you'll share additionally with us publicly rather than only via email.

I'm curious why you describe #2860 as being lethal back in 1977 ... and what you did to remedy the situation?

I as well would find reading of Guy's exploits rather interesting & insightful, especially in regards to the other cars that Guy raced against.

First thing/s I noticed about Guy's Pantera is NO hood venting for cooling nor any type of rear wing!
What is the race car following Guy in the photo posted?!

Is that a Lotus?!...Mark
THANKS PanTTera!!!...You have Great Eyes & Knowledge!

It's the EXACT same Race car as appears in the photo with Guy's Pantera.

That's WHY WE NEED to hear from Guy!!!

I believe WE ALL WANT to hear/read about Guy's racing experiences!!!

Interesting I DON'T see the elevated mirror in the racing photo, yet it appears on the auction photo of the Alfa?!

The rear wheels appear 2 feet WIDE!!!...Mark
