Hello all,

I am trying to trace the history of a Marcos race car which competed in two events of the 1966 World Sportscar Championships, namely:

GP Mugello, Italy on 17 July, 1966
500km Rennen Nürburgring, Germany on 4 September, 1966.

If anyone has a copy of the racing results or entrant's sheets from these races, I would deeply appreciate asking you a few questions. You may contact me at my email address a3pseward@comcast.net .

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Best Regards,
Andy Seward
Carlisle, PA, USA

To my records there were two Marcos Mini GT entered in the 500 KMs:
No. 14 driven by William Dulles and No. 26 driven by Roy Johnson.
The first one was competing in the 1300cc prototypes class, the other one in the 1000 cc.
I also have the Dulles car as a works entrant. Both cars were DNFs, but I have no information of the reasons out and the laps driven. Also nothing on grid positions or practice times.
