Description
One of a limited number (16) of race-going XJR-15s built to compete in the JaguarSport Intercontinental Challenge.
We just checked the engine stroke, and it was longer than the normal 78.5 stroke
Walkinshaw was always smart and he wasn't going to let anyone beat his factory driver !
The first practice session was held in damp conditions and Warwick soon set the benchmark time, before coming back into the pits to see if anyone else could get near it. As the track dried out, Armin Hahne went quicker, so Warwick leapt back into his XJR-15. With time for only a single flying lap, he reclaimed pole position in 1 minute 47.8 seconds—a full 1.6 seconds clear of Hahne.
Campaigned by Works TWR driver Derek Warwick in the 1991 series
Race-winner in the opening round at Monaco, edging out David Brabham by a split-second
Presented in its 1991 livery
The XJR-15 being offered for sale—chassis 020—would be driven in the Intercontinental Challenge by perhaps the most famous name on the driver roster.
All experts know that the Walkinshaw XJR 15s were faster than the customer cars.
When you only need one qualifying lap to push the second to 1.6 sec. You have an extraordinary car.
