  • 1990 Jaguar Twr Xjr-11
    1990 JAGUAR TWR XJR-11 D E T A I L S Year: 1990 Conguration: RHD Engine: 3500 cc Price: SOLD D E S C R I P T I O N 1990 Jaguar XJR-11 Chassis 490 This important Jaguar is one of just three XJR-11 World Sportscar Prototype Championship cars and the most successful example. Despite dominating the 1988 World Championship and winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it was becoming clear that the normally aspirated V12-engined TWR Jaguars were gradually losing competitiveness, especially in view of the shorter sprint events that FISA were introducing. Cars powered by the latest turbocharged engines, which were lighter and more compact, were gaining the upper hand and in response TWR JaguarSport (a collaboration of Walkinshaw's TWR and Jaguar) started the development of a purpose-built V6 engine for the 1989 season. The design allowed for two variants; a 3-litre engine for the American IMSA series and a 3.5 litre Group C specication for the World Championship. To accommodate the more compact dimensions of the new V6, JaguarSport's Tony Southgate also designed an all- new chassis, which would be known as the XJR-10 for the IMSA series and the XJR11 for the Group C entries. The new engine was a thoroughly modern V6 with twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. Of all-aluminium construction it weighed just 143 kg and was tted with two Garrett turbochargers, which boosted the power to around 750 bhp in the 3.5 Litre Group C specication engines.

  • In Touch the Official Magazine of Dunlop Motorsport [ ] Le Mans Race Edition
    IN TOUCH THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF DUNLOP MOTORSPORT [ www.injection.tv ] LE MANS RACE EDITION Dunlop came away from the Le Mans 24 hours delighted with the performance of its dry and light wet tyres after a difficult race in which the changing condi- tions contributed to the overall result. “We were pretty competitive in all conditions other than full wet conditions,” says Dunlop’s chief tyre technician Matthew Simpson of the LMP2 tyres. “On the slick tyres and the light wet tyres, we had a performance advantage, but in full wet conditions we struggled to get temperature into our compounds. The Essex car had engine trouble so we were never going to do better than we did, but we have to look at the tyre perform- ance in wet conditions and make it better. “The Virgo Ferrari team were very strong and our development construction at the rear allowed us to double stint safely. There was no sign of difficulty in doing so, and there was zero deterioration from the first lap to the last in a double stint, according to the drivers. Le Mans podiums for Essex Perhaps we could have triple stinted, but we didn’t test that before the race and during the race was not the time to try. Porsche and Farnbacher Ferrari “The Creation team had four punctures and three of them were caused by debris. There was not enough left of the tyre to establish the cause of the fourth.” The 2008 edition of the Le Mans 24 hours produced was difficult to drive because sometimes the power was everything from a record breaking qualifying and race there, other times it wasn’t and we couldn’t know what to John Nielsen, Casper Elgaard and Sascha Maassen pace, a record crowd of 258,500 turning out in eager expect.

  • The Silk Cutjaguar Xjr11 Chassis: 289 Jaguar Xjr11 Chassis 289
    THE SILK CUTJAGUAR XJR11 CHASSIS: 289 JAGUAR XJR11 CHASSIS 289 The Jaguar XJR-11 is the forgotten Group C car to emerge from the Tom Walkinshaw Racing stable. The V6-powered machine didn’t notch up the successes of the normally-aspirated V12 predecessors, but the car introduced during the second half of the 1989 World Sports-Prototype Championship represented a significant step forward. Jaguar had claimed a first Le Mans 24 Hours victory in more than 30 years in 1988, and it had won both the drivers’ and manufacturers’ titles in the World Sports-Prototype Championship that year for good measure. But it knew that the writing was on the wall for its line of Group C cars powered by Jaguar’s production-based, normally- aspirated V12 powerplant. The result was a new design from the pen of Tony Southgate powered by a lightweight turbocharged engine. The Sauber Mercedes squad, now with the full weight of the German car giant behind it, had been pointing to the future with the early successes for its WSPC contender powered by a twin-turbo five-litre V8. The modern powerplant whereas the V12 weighed nearer 250kg. The XJR- was simply more efficient than a V12 engine that 11 — and its IMSA cousin, the XJR-10 — retained had been conceived back in the 1950s. Efficiency, the family look of the line of V12-powered TWR remember, was the name of the game in the Group ‘Tomcats’, but it was in fact a new car. C fuel-formula, which restricted the amount of fuel each car could use in the race.
