Hi everybody,

I just want to inform you about the updates on my Touring Car site, which tries to give you some statistics about the European Touring Car Championship. I've started with 1970, and it has reached 1972 now, so things start to get interesting. Fot the future, I'll try to cover earlier years as well as the 80's.
Feel free to take a look at http://www.euronet.nl/users/in004021/ or go.to/touringcars
Reactions, either here or email, are appreciated, and by the way, I'm interested in a list of ETC races from 1963 to 1967, since my library fails in that respect. Of course, I would be grateful for any other missing information, like a little more about Silverstone 1972.

[William Dale Jr]

Hi,
Frank, how far do you intend to go into the 80's? All the way to 1988, the ETC's final year? If so, would this include the 1987 WTCC, because I don't think there was an ETC held that year?

Love the site, by the way. Great to see that there is now such a site for touring car races of the past to join FORIX and WSPR

[Frank de Jong]

If time permits, yes, I'll intend to stretch it as far as 1988. But I have to cover some poor years before that. Thanks for the reaction.

[David McKinney]

Having dragged out this list, I’m now not sure how accurate it is. Actual dates for 1963, and some other years, might be slightly out, as my reports say things like “the following weekend”. At least the 1963 list of events is correct, as far as I know, but the later lists might include an occasional non-championship event by mistake.
But at least it should give you a starting point

There was an ETC in 1987, won by German Winnie Vogt who died recently IIRC. (ooops, I did it again! I answered a Touring Car question! )

[Frank de Jong]

Thanks David
I'm thinking of quitting my daytime job to get this all finished ;)

Fines, in fact the ETC and WTC ran parallel in 1987, with races counting for both championships as well as races counting for ETC or WTC only, if i remember correctly. No wonder they stopped all of it after 1988...

Three o'clock in the morning is not a good time to be doing thinking. I just remembered that I read the obituary for Winnie Vogt in an Auto Action. From memory, I thought it said that he was the 1987 WTC Champion, but was sure that Roberto Ravaglia had won it. Thanks for clearing that up, fines BTW, the obituary was in a 1988 edition of Auto Action, he died from cancer, from memory.

[Frank de Jong]

I just want to let you know the 1973 results are added, as well as a massive update for 1970, thanks to Stanislav.
Updates for 1971 and 1972 will be added soon, as well as 1974.
Any additions, comments or ideas are highly welcomed.
If you don't want to use the "go.to" link, use:
http://www.euronet.n...4021/index.html instead.

[Frank de Jong]

The 1974 results are added, as well as a massive update for 1971, yet again thanks to Stanislav. (his comments on 1972 and 1973 have arrived as well, but it takes a lot of time to update the pages...)

Any additions, comments or ideas are, as usual, highly welcomed.
If you don't want to use the "go.to" link, use:

[Frank de Jong]

The 1975 results are added now, as well as a massive update for 1972, 1973 and 1974, yet again thanks to Stanislav. I'm sure he will send his comments on 1975 soon

I've decided to go backwards first, so expect some very meagre results from the early years of the ETC soon.

Any additions, comments or ideas are, as usual, highly welcomed.

[Flicker]

backwards to what year.. 1970 or... 1963 ?


And this one esp. for Frank !

[Frank de Jong]

Great picture! I guess it must be Brno 1970.
I'll probably start with 1968 and 1969, since I have some books and magazines to rely on; and then I'll have to see what I can find about 1963-1967. But with a little help from my friends...;)

[sat]

I also vote for Brno.

[Flicker]

Frank, Sat !

And I also...

BTW, the same one was in the Ing. Zdenek Cizek's book "Mistrovstvi Evropy Cestovnich Avtomobilu".
(I'm quite sure that for You, sat... the translation not needed)
;)

[Frank de Jong]

Well, fortunately I do own a czech-english dictionary, so I´ll find out...

[Flicker]

Well, Frank...

it's not diffucult at all:

Championsip (Mistrovstvi) Europe (Evropy) Cestovnich (here - touring) and the last word means cars...;)

and one more pic of the car - dreadnought

[Frank de Jong]

1968 and 1969 are added now. I'll continue with 1963-1967. I'm afraid I can use a lot of help with that particular period...

[Allen Brown]

Frank

Through your own library and your various contacts, what magazines do you have access to? I guess you have Autosport, Motoring News and the better known mags. If I have something that you don't, I'd be happy to do a bit of photocopying for you.

For example, I have a single bound copy of the French Sport Auto 1971, which has partial grid lineups for Spa and Paul Ricard that year as part of lengthy reports. I also have Speed World International for 1968, and that lists all 34 finishers at Spa, 20 finishers at Nurburgring and even has a short report on Zolder.

Let me know.

Allen

[Frank de Jong]

Allen, my "magazine" library started with some Dutch magazines in 1969 (I was only 10 years old then), from 1975 I have a lot of mainly German magazines. A few months ago, I could buy a near-complete German sport-auto set from 1971 to 1974. Any data from 1971 which is not included in the site is most welcome, since I included all I could find. The rest is taken from a lot of books, take a look at the "sources" page of the site; you´ll see that I don´t have any British or US magazines from that period (most of them were/are hard to get in the Netherlands).
So the answer to your question is: YES! Please!
Thanks for your kind offer

[Frank de Jong]

Hi everybody,

I'm happy to inform you of the biggest update to date; the results of 1963-1967.
I must confess that I was surprised how much information can be retrieved from books, for instance the fact that the Mont Ventoux hillclimb was a shared round for the ETC and the European Mountain Climb Championship. Now this specific hillclimb is covered on WSPR.com...
The points scoring system is still not quite clear to me. I've read that the margin between the winner and the next finishers was taken into account as well. This created hilarious situations, such as a race where 5 Saabs were leading, 4 of them stopped at the café at the circuit, to enable their leader to extend his lead.
however
Many other results are very incomplete or missing altogether, especially for Mallory park (63), Zolder (63), Zandvoort (63,66,67), Timmelsjoch (63), Budapest (63,64,66), karlskoga (64), St. Ursanne (64,67), Monza (66), Aspern (67), Belgrade (67) and Snetterton (67).
So, if anyone, anywhere can lend a hand to complete these (or any other!) results, I would be very grateful.
Since my internet connection is by cable, I would't mind to receive scanned championship tables, race reports etc. If you want to contribute in any other form, just send an email.

OK, this was the toughest part for me; 1976 etc will be a piece of cake ;)

[Frank de Jong]

Thanks everybody so far. Stanislav has already sent his comments on 1963, so we're getting somewhere!
It really is a pleasure, albeit a little absorbing, to find out what really happened in those years. A costly experience as well - I ran across a yearbook about the 1964 season at Monza, of course with the results of the 1964 ETC race. Of course, I could't resist buying it. Later, I found some Dutch magazines of 1964 and 1966.

So, if anyone needs the results of let's say the Monza F3 race of 1964, you know where to get them.

[Roger Clark]

Frank, would you mind letting us know what other information you have? I have more but I don't want to repeat what you already have.

[Frank de Jong]

Roger, apart from the information of this thread, Stanislav has already sent his comments on 1963-1964. A quick look reveals that 63 consists of a great Nürburgring score and some extra details on the posts of this thread. 1964 he has covered all the races.
I've used all of my own sources before posting the site (including the Monza book etc.)
I'll try to update the site this week, so perhaps you rather wait until then.
However, I don't mind double information; it gives me a way to cross-check.
What I've learnt so far from the feedback from all of you:
The Lancia Flavia's were 1500 cc cars rather than 1800
The Lancia Flaminia cars were 2500 cc cars rather than 2800
(I see a pattern developing...)
There must have been a 2500 cc class, since some of you state winners; so, 2001-2500 is class 8, over 2500 is class 9. Probably the classes have been combined when too few cars were entered in class 8 (montoux?)
Stanislav stated the poinst system as 12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 in 63, for 64: 7-5-3-2-1, but, as he states: "miminální po_et startujících 5, jinak se t_ídy slu_ují zapo_ítáno 5 závod_+2 vrchy", some characters missing because of a little Macintosh/unicode problem, my Czech dictionary will help me out, I guess the first part is minimum 5 starters.
The final points standings for 1964 would still be welcome (Stanislav provided 1963).
So far:

Thank You All!

[Roger Clark]

This is from Autosport's review of the 1963 Touring Car races. It looks as though it was 12 points for a win with the best five to count. THere is more detail in the reports of the individual events, although they didn't cover every one. the scanning is not perfect but if there's anything you want but can't read, let me know.

[sat]

To Frank,

I can translate is aproximatedly so: minimal count of starters in class is 5, in opposite fall is to merge classes.
Second: from all results is count best 5 circuit and 2 hill climb results. I appologise not translate it before.
Is very difficult to find right result of that time becouse of little interest of temporary press. One of best I know is swiss Automobile revue, but is not easy to use this (because of format).

[Frank de Jong]

Hello again,

I've been working on 1963 to show you I actually use your input (and to keep you going...).
Personally I'm very with the result; every race is now covered to some extent.
Of course, still more results are wellcome, especially grid positions, 2nd-3rd-etc in class for some races.
A few questions remain. Some easy ones, like the cars involved. Although not quite certain, cars like the Skoda Octavia TS, Fiat 1500, Sunbeam Rapier can be guessed, simply because the alternatives are not very likely.
On 2nd and 3rd in class 3 for Zolder, opinions are contradicting, just like the Budapest winner; was it the Lancia, or were 2 Jaguars 1st and 3rd? I've chosen the Lancia, since it was a class winner anyway, and Stanoslav's results gave no alternative Lancia.
2 Jaguars and only 2 drivers - that would have been a great pitstop, swapping cars. Since Nöcker was leading the championship, it wouldn't have been a bad thing though.
Last one: Stanislav mentions a "Peter Scherrer" from Switzerland in an Abarth, I would guess that this should be Peter Schetty, can anyone confirm this?
It has been a great exercise so far, thank you all, especially Stanislav (Sat, I presume?), David McKinney and Roger Clark.

[Roger Clark]

Budapest: Autosport who clearly didn't have a reporter at the race said:

"The results orginally gave Lindner and Nocker as victors as they certainly appeared to be. But the fact that they drove two different cars to ensure that Nocker was in the winning car to score maximum points in the championship caused some confusion. The alternative winners, so to speak, were Carlo Facetti and Luigi Cabella in a Lancia Flaminia which, according to our second source of information narrowly beat the Volvo 122S driven by Jochen Neerpasch; the same source gave Nocker ahead of te Furtmayr Alfa. Rob Slotemaker (Mini Cooper S) finished in fifthe position and won his class, as did Hahne in a BMW, Karlsson in the Saab and Mantzel in the DKW"

I don't know what that means. Their published result had Lindner/Nocker first, Neerpasch 2nd and Nocker/Lindner 3rd, Faceti/Cabella are listed as class winners but not in the overall first three.

It would appear that the use of two drivers sharing two cars was purely to gain maximum points advantage.

Then there's the question of Nocker'stotal points: He won at Nurburgring, Zolder, Timmelsjoch and (perhaps) Budapest, and was second at Brands Hatch. How do you get 60 points from that? One possibility is that you had to be registered for the championship to score points and that Salvadori/Hulme weren't, giving 12 points to Nocker who came second.

[Frank de Jong]

What I can think of is that he finished in Zandvoort to gain the missing 3 points.
I´ll try to calculate the final classification when I have a little time, perhaps one of the 5 ex-aeqo drivers gives us a clue...

I am looking to ETC sites, especilly the hillclimb events.

1963 Mont Ventoux - in my data: Björn Rothstein, Saab 96 Sport, time 15:54,1, 1st in Gr.2-850cc - in Franks ETC site I did not find him!
Massoneri, I have 16:15,1??
1964 Mont Ventoux OK!
1965 Mont Ventoux - I have F.Masoero, not Mansoera??, Calascibetta x Trenti - I have Trenti x Calascibetta
1966 Mont Ventoux OK!

Very great job, me and my brother have some photos from Brno 19884-86 (?) but all of them are "dia"... bad for scanning...

[sat]

Stanislav mentions a "Peter Scherrer" from Switzerland in an Abarth, I would guess that this should be Peter Schetty, can anyone confirm this?

I seriously doubt is the same man.

[Roman]

Peter Schetty - 1966 (Shelby Ford GT350), 1967-68 (Abarth 2000SP), 1969 (Ferrari 212E)
A. Scherrer - 1956 (Mercedes 300SL)
Scherrer/CH - 1970 (Opel Kadett)
=> I cannot say if Scherrer is Schetty, but it is sure (?) that Scherrer from CH racd in 1970 with Mercedes, could it be possible to change works Ferrari prototype for 300SL? Impossible, this is why some Scherrer from CH raced at that times... My opinion is - they are not one person.

[Frank de Jong]

OK, I'm convinced!

Roman, my Mont Ventoux data is taken from wspr-racing.com, you're probably familiar with that site ;) I added mainly some car data, did a bit of cleaning, made an overall result and threw in the odd starting number.
Concerning Rothstein: wspr states 15':;4"1, which I translated into 15.04,1, class winner, 5th overall, perhaps a bit optimistic. Karlsson, 2nd in class, has a time of 15.50,2, so the time you state would make Karlsson class winner. What time do you have for Karlsson then?
Massoneri, same problem? 16'1:;"1. I'll change that, you're probably right there.
Masoero OK, then wspr:
1- CALASCIBETTA l Fiat-Abarth 850 TC Corsa 14'21"1 RB 91,267
2- TRENTI I Fiat-Abarth 850 TC Corsa 14'20"9
If the times are correct, Trenti should be class winner of course, but you'll understand why I messed up...
Thanks for the comments!

[Roman]

Unfortunately www.wspr-racing.com no longer belong to my brother... and the Mont Ventoux results are added by the current owner of that sites. I secretely hoped, you have some better source... My information are also from that pages, you are probably right, only Rothstein time I will translated as 15:44,1.... I would like to know from what book it was OCRing, that must be some book about Mont Ventoux race, but I dont know any like that. Thank you for corrections!

The updates of 30/6: 1964 (big!) and 1969. Stanislav already provided a lot of 1965-1967 information, expect big updates in the coming week.

[Frank de Jong]

Hello again,

1965 is updated and much more complete now. Thanks to Stanislav, once again.
I'm still curious of any full championship scoring tables of the 1963-1969 period. If anyone could provide these, that would be great.

[Frank de Jong]

OK, 1966 is updated, thanks to you-know-who and the posts on the first page of this thread.
1967 still to go; but I've started with 1976 as well. Keep surfing.

[Frank de Jong]

Last great update for the early years: 1967 looks a bit better now. Thanks once again to Stanislav and David McKinney. Some question marks are still there, especially in the final classification.
As usual, any comments or additions are welcomed.
OK, I'll get on with 1976 now.

[Frank de Jong]

Well, the first year of a new ETC decade is ready now. 1976 is added to my website.
Any help is still very much appriciated.

[Frank de Jong]

I'm afraid yet another year on the ETC site is ready. 1977 is up and running, together with updates for 76 (thanks to SAT) and some other small updates like some sort of banner.
Question : can anyone confirm the cancellation of the last two rounds of '77 (Ricard and Estoril)? The fact that I couldn't find any report is hardly comforting in that respect. The cancellation of the last rounds has another side effect that I didn't find a final classification anywhere. I know that Quester was the champion; but how he did that remains a mystery for me. Look at the championship table and see what I mean.
Enjoy the site, comments are as always very welcome.

[Jeremy Jackson]

Frank,

Estoril took place on October 16th, but Ricard was cancelled. At the time of Jaguar's withdrawal (Zolder), it appeared that this would be the other way round, i.e Estoril was doubtful.

I have the first 6 for Estoril, plus race-by -race point if you need them.

Quester/Grano were 2nd at Estoril, by the way.

[fines]

The Estoril race took place on Oct 16,1977.

1 Facetti/Finotto, BMW 3,0 CSL (Luigi)
2 Quester/Grano, BMW 3,0 CSL (Alpina)
3 Xhenceval/Dieudonné, BMW 3,0 CSL (Luigi)
4 de Wael/Joosen, BMW 3,0 CSL (Luigi)
5 Brun/Kelleners, BMW 320 (Eggenberger)
6 Siegrist/Stocker, VW Scirocco
7 Formera/Franz, Alfa Romeo GTV

The last round at Le Castellet was cancelled for financial reasons.

Championship:
1 Quester, 125
2 Xhenceval, 119
2 Dieudonné, 119
2 Facetti, 119
5 Finotto, 107
6 Joosen, 97

1 BMW (V), 220
2 BMW (III), 180
2 VW (II), 180
4 Alfa Romeo (I), 175
5 Alfa Romeo (III), 152
6 Alfa Romeo (IV), 116
7 BMW (IV), 109

[Frank de Jong]

Wow. A little more than half an hour. Thanks, you're great!

[Frank de Jong]

OK, Estoril is added now; the final classifications are nearly OK (probably in Mugello Finotto was Facetti's co-pilot, in contrast to my sources, can anyone confirm?); the only thing which puzzles me is the total points for Alfa in division 3 - I can't get more than 147...

Thanks!

[Jeremy Jackson]

Autosport's season review says that Facetti / Finotto raced together at Mugello.

Don't know if any other reports conflict with that...
