O ' FEATURE ver had an MG? A Triumph or Jag? Any British car? Even if you haven't, STORY.BY BRIAN KENNEDY • PHOTOS BY GORDON JOLLEY you've heard stories about how they challenge their owners' patience with their reliability troubles. Particular about the way they are handled, these cars have driven off more than one suitor with their quirkiness. That's why it's good to find a car like William Dentinger's 1956 TR3. Loaded with special Triumph racing equipment, it also enjoys the devotion of its owner, who spends much time searching for rare Triumph factory racing spares to keep the car original. The blue TR3 pays him back with quick, reliable and fun weekends at the track. It's a story that should put to rest rumors that you're better off in something NOT from the Emerald Isle. Dentinger's car is a very early TR3, only the thirteenth such vehicle built with disc brakes. Its significance comes not just from this pedi­ gree, but because of its amazing array of his tori­ cally-accurate competition components. Dentinger says it this way: "The car is very accurate. Everything on it is by Triumph; it has every competition feature that Triumph offered for the car." Basically, the original owner drove this TR3 from the showroom floor straight to the parts department, where he picked up one of every­ thing he could get to prepare the car to race; he then hit the track without, as far as Dentinger knows, ever taking to the boulevards. The Triumph has an extensive East Coast club racing history, though for a brief period in 1974 it was converted to street trim and even won a concours. Dentinger quickly diverted the Triumph from its pampered ways back to its heritage when the car came into his possession, and he has kept it on the vintage circuit since 1979. The car has raced as far south as St. Petersburg, Aa., and as far north as Shannonville, Ontario, from Dentinger's base in Waukesha, Wisc. It has also been east to Watkins Glen and west to Brainerd, Minn. Road America is now the car's home track. Dentinger's greatest vic­ tory was Chicago Historics, where in 1993 he won outright racing in the rain. This is the only Triumph ever to pull off a first overall in that prestigious event. Factory-type modifications include a Detroit Locker rear end, which belongs in a trucj but was a dealer option. The car also wears ten-inch. AI-fin drum brakes on the rear. Not instaIt&i by the original owner, these are Dentinger's contri­ bution to the uniqueness of his ride. It took Dentinger I3 years to find this sel. They're not to be confused with their nine-inch cousins: only 48 sets of these IO-inch drums were ever made, and that was 40 years ago! Often, Tri­ umphs with AI-fins sport nine-inch units adapted from a Mazda and fitted with steel linings. Dentinger's are ·the real Triumph pieces, lined with pads custom-made to hi~ all-aluminum IO-inch drums. The car also has anti-roll bars on the front and rear, plus an oversized AI-fin oil pan that takes . ,_ ~ht':Jt;; :; ... :;;; .:~ ~ ~.alr:l(f,:" oil .

    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

  • Bmw M1 Procar
    LEGENDS 2016 BMW M1 PROCAR The BMW M1 Procar Championship was a one-make car racing series, founded by Jochen Neerpasch – former head of BMW Motorsports. The Procar racing series was especially created for the BMW M1 and held in the years 1979 & 1980. The idea of this series was to give the most talented private drivers an opportunity to compete against top Formula 1 drivers under identical conditions and was staged as a warm-up race ahead of selected European Formula 1 Grand Prix. Alongside the five fastest Formula 1 drivers in the Friday training session, drivers specializing in touring cars and ambitious private drivers competed against each other – a mixture with particular appeal to the public. Both Procar Championships have been won by a Formula 1 Driver – 1979 Niki Lauda took the overall win and was followed 1980 by Nelson Piquet.
