Walter Wolf Model Kits Walter Wolf Model Kits by Evan Jones, C3372 This article on Walter Wolf Model kits turned out larger than antici- pated, and so we’ve decided to break it into two installments. This first provides some background and looks at the Wolf Formula One and Can Am vehicles, and Wolf Lamborghinis. In the next issue we’ll continue with coverage of the Wolf motorcycles. Introduction tina, the Monaco Grand Prix and most importantly, There was an article in the November 2017 Globe the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.

For motor racing fans, he was best known for fielding a Formula One race car team, Walter Wolf racing, which competed in the 1977 to 1979 seasons. They were most successful in their first year and even marketed their own team wrist- watches, cigarettes and cologne. In 1977, he also funded a Can-Am team, with his Wolf Dallara WD1 car, driven in a number of races by Gilles Villeneuve. He also was involved with Lamborghini, the Italian supercar manufacturer, commissioning them to build three cars to his specifications. He is credited with saving Lamborghini and at one time was thinking of buying the company. In 2013, an arrest warrant was issued in Slovenia for his involvement in an arms deal. However, he never stood trial and continues to live on his ranch in Brit- ish Columbia.

The Can-Am (Canadian- American Challenge Cup), which ran from 1966 to 1987, with a break from 1975 to 1976, was a race series for closed wheel cars and in the early years did not have overly restrictive rules.

In this installment we’ll continue with coverage of the Wolf motorcycles. Walter Wolf Suzuki Motorcycles What most people who know the name Walter Wolf Racing do not realize is that he was heavily involved with Suzuki motorcycles, around the same time as his involvement in Formula One. He sponsored a Suzuki factory team in the All Japan Championship Road Race 500 cc motorcycle series. Suzuki also produced special edition street motorcycles with Walter Wolf markings Racing Motorcycles 1985 Suzuki RG Γ 500 (XR70) GP race bike The first year of involvement with the Suzuki race team was in 1985. The XR70, ridden by Japanese rider Masaru Mizutani, placed second overall with podium finishes in 8 of the 9 races. There is no kit of this particular model, but it can be built by modify- ing existing Suzuki race motorcycles and I have seen photos of a Japanese modeller who did that. 1986 Wolf race bike 1986 Suzuki RG Γ 500 (XR70) GP race bike During the second year, the Walter Wolf sponsored bike, again ridden by Masaru Mizutani placed fourth overall. Again, there is no kit of this particular model, but the same Japanese modeller who did the 1985 bike, built the 1986 bike. 1987 Suzuki RGV Γ 500 (XR72) GP race bike The third year saw additional refinements to the bike, but it was not enough to compete with the Honda and Yamaha motorcycles. Masaru Mizutani placed fifth overall that year. Although there is no model of this exact motorcycle, there is a transkit made from UTA Design out of Japan. It consists of a resin body, exhaust and other pieces and a decal sheet. This allows the builder to backdate a Fuji- mi 1988 race bike model to make the 1987 Walter Wolf version. 1985 Wolf race bike January 2019 9 Street Motorcycles 1986 Suzuki RG250Γ This bike was produced for both Japanese and Can- adian markets, and was available in both the signa- ture dark blue Wolf racing colours and a silver ver- sion. In 1986, Tamiya produced a 1:12 scale plastic model kit of this bike, it has been re-issued a few times and is still readily available. 1987 Wolf race bike 1:12 scale Tamiya Suzuki RG250 Γ Walter Wolf Special Version 1:12 scale Fujimi 1988 GP race bike model, used as the basis to build the 1987 version 1:12 scale Tamiya Suzuki RG250 Γ Walter Wolf models, built by the author Suzuki RG400 Γ and RG500 Γ Based on the GP race bike, a street legal version was produced in limited quantities in 1985, 1986 and 1987, depending on the country.

    WELCOME BACK TO BAKU Dear friends, On behalf of Baku City Circuit, please let me welcome you to the third successive Formula 1 race weekend in Azerbaijan. Last year’s race in Baku was widely recognised as the most exciting and dramatic race of the year – if not the decade – by members of the media, teams, drivers and the global F1 fanbase alike. It truly was a race that had it all culminating in the most unexpected podium line up in many years. The fact that this historic race occurred under our new event title as the FORMULA 1 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX filled us with an even greater sense of pride and satisfaction for a job well done. This year we once again welcome the world to Baku at the slightly earlier date of late April to bear witness to the awe-inspiring sight of F1 cars negotiating one of the fastest and most testing circuits in Formula 1. Baku City Circuit’s winding, narrow sequences, 90-degree turns and high-speed straights - all set against the breath- taking backdrop of Baku’s UNESCO-protected old city, magnificent skylines and beautiful seaside promenade - have proven to be a major challenge to the current F1 grid, resulting in last year’s spectacular outcome and many on-track altercations. We are very confident of a similar explosion of drama, speed and bravery occurring once again for the 2018 edition. Furthermore, the off-track entertainment will be bigger and better than ever before with world-class music, visual and conceptual artists once again performing all along the specially constructed Fan Zone all weekend.
