ROC / Chuck Graemiger, Switzerland.  This rare Group C rare was produced by Chuck Graemiger and Racing Organisation Course and went through a number of name changes.  It only appeared at Le Mans and Magny Cours in 1991 where it started but failed to finish.  The drivers were Pascal Fabre and Bernard Thuner.  It had a Cosworth DFR engine and a carbon fibre monocoque.  The car was designed to sell to privateers but Group C was declining and it never happened.   It now appears as a welcome participant in historic racing.  First known as a Cheetah like Chuck's first Aston Martin engined car, it quickly became an ROC and an SGR.

Spice Engineering, Brackley, England.  Spice Engineering was founded by long time driver and team owner Gordon Spice and his brother Derek with funding from Ray Belm.  This, the SE90C, was one of the final cars produced by Spice Engineering.  It was for the 3.5 litre Group C when Spice found itself competing in the main category rather than C2 which it had dominated.  It had a Ford Cosworth DFR V8 engine.  Best results were 3rd at the Silverstone and Donington 480km events in 1990.  Drivers included Bruno Giacomelli and Tim Harvey.
