Of those 28, only ten were stretched into the 1997-spec &#8220;Long Tail&#8221; model seen here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Formerly owned by Gulf Team Davidoff, the F1 GTR with chassis number 28R was raced in the 1997 FIA GT Championship series. The car&#8217;s best races included sixth place finishes in both Suzuka and Laguna Seca, with three other top ten finishes during that season. It served as a mid-season replacement for car #25R, which caught fire during the &#8217;97 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n<p>Despite an elongated nose, larger tale, and bigger rear wing, the car shaved 75kg off the 1996 model weight, to bring the total to 915kg. Powered by a 900 horsepower V12 from BMW Motorsports, the car is still wearing its full Gulf Livery.<\/p>\n<p>Story by Winkel<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div
