M3 Historians, Need a Hand

[8380 Labs]

I'm in the process of researching a design and I need some help.

There were (12) Championship-winning E30 M3s from 1987-1991, and I've been able to track down/confirm multiple pics of 8 of them. I have cross-referenced the pics against the final results of the respective series they won, so the info is reliable.

I've got a single pic or conflicting info on (3) of the remaining 4, and nothing substantial (1) of them. I'm hoping one of you guys has an M3 book or video or some pics saved that could help me out. Here's what I need:

1987: Michele Di Gioia - Italian Superturismo #48
Anything that can confirm the image I've got as the correct one




1989: Johnny Cecotto - Italian Superturismo (#1)
Anything that can confirm the image I've got as the correct one




1990: Roberto Ravaglia - Italian Superturismo (#3)
I've got a number of pics that MIGHT be this car, but currently unconfirmed

1991: Roberto Ravaglia - Italian Superturismo (#1)
Anything that can confirm the image I've got as the correct one



This is more difficult than it sounds, as many of these guys ran cars in multiple series during a single season. They often switched numbers or cars within a team during the year as well.

Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

This one's a little more involved than the norm, ha.

I'm not reg'd on S14 and according to the site it's closed - any way you could help?

Thanks Andy.

I ended up finding the info I was looking for on an Italian message board. :p

Thanks to those of you that offered help - I'm in the process of finishing up the design, and it will be available in the next couple weeks.

I'll post it up in the classifieds once it's available. :)

Drawings are very nice. But the cars are perhaps a bit too low to be accurate. ;-)

[8380 Labs]

how sure are you about that, lee?





looks pretty accurate to me - but thanks for the feedback. ;)
