Hi all,

When posting something, I normally try to be pretty precise, in order to avoid misunderstandings or simple mistakes, especially when I know that there are some real experts - like VZ935 - around. I would be already more than happy to know what he has already forgotten about these cars.

Van is right. The original K4 tubeframe was from aluminium and the one from the ad was made by CP Tech.

Normally, there would be nothing to add, but this time, the subject is worth a deeper view.

When I visited the Kremer booth at the Essen Motorshow, the exposed tubeframe was proudly declared to be the new "backbone" of their K4 continuation project. Many clients were walking around the tubeframe, accompanied by Kremer employees, studying the respective K4 folder, which you could pick up from a rack in front of the tubeframe. The following pics are pretty unequivocal:



Last but not least a pic of Eberhard Baunach, the Kremer principal, with his team, as a proud "father" of a new baby.

When I visited the Kremer shop in Cologne, Achim Stroth (who was - as some of you surely know - already there during the glorious K3 times) showed me the same tubeframe and we talked about their K4 project.

Kremer commissioned CP Tech, as it's written in the ad, to build a spaceframe for them, as they are a top notch supplier with an excellent expertise and access to special materials. They are even FIA certfied to build the life saving HALO devices for F1 cars.

It was built to their exact specifications for their K4. Due to regulatory restrictions, they had to switch to an aluminium spaceframe, so that this - non aluminium one - is for sale now.

All this was confirmed by Kremer, during a phone conversation, we had today.

As I already said, this could be a good basis for a particular project. The phantasie is the limit.

Thank you for your time.

Great info Slingshot
The CP frame is sexy but lots of work left.
I know the K4 is complete

On the tube frame subject Here is the spare 935-84 Fabcar chassis when I owned it

For me, the colors of the stripes are a reminder of those on the driver's helmet (Hal Shaw ?)

Having crewed on Hal’s cars, the color scheme is definitely dark green, orange and yellow.

Hi Folks,

a couple of weeks ago, I attended the “Mugello Classic“ race in Italy. The event that is part of the European “Peter Auto“ championship that is perhaps the most important over here, as they also organize the “Le Mans Classic“ race.
Here are some pics and I hope you like them.
This one was raced by McLaren F1 principal Zak Brown


This has a tube Frame


Some others

And finally 934.5, which was serviced by German engine wizzard Sven Nowakowski and the team from Scuderia GT Classic. The sound of the single turbo flat fan engine is a symphony of its own.

We used to run Goodyear bias ply all the way around 16x11&12 up front and 16x14 in the rear.
A lot of people are now running 18's like we have on the MOMO 935

The favored tire these days is a bias ply Avon.

My understanding was Kraus was working on reproducing a 19" for the rear.

I converted one of my 935's to a street car and the only tire available with a 16" and 19" is a Hosier dot tire. Had to narrow the rear 19"wheels to 13" wide though.

I once got fabricated 18inch wheel halves to match the AVON tyres.
Also made a reproduction of the BBS E57 wheelcenters, both in aluminium and magnesium

Hi folks,

here are some pics from the “Imola Classic“ event in Italy, which I visited last weekend.

The first car is owned and driven pretty successfully by two German twin brothers Marc and Dennis Busch - (https://www.twinbusch.de/shop_content.php?coID=30&language=en)
