Chassis Number: 007 MOC
Location: France
Colour: Silver
Panels: Phase 1
ECU Number: 49
Original Engine Number: F047259
Original Gearbox Number: 7
Raced by Philippe Thirion for the French team Top Loc Racing in 1999 & 2000.
Note race entrance sheets showed the name "Alain Thirion", however the car clearly says "P. Thirion" in the window in all photos I have located. Perhaps they both shared the car.
Philippe was the founder of Top Loc. The Top Loc team had at least 3 cars and likely 4.
In 1999 the car raced as #53,
It is understood that Thirion competed in the second tier "Trophee" class. Finishing first in class at Estoril and Zandvort in 1999.
In 2000 it raced as #19
Note Philippe Thirion raced in 2000 at Magny Cours in car #101 which had an amazing graffiti livery.
It was seen at a Motorshow in Rouen in 2006 advertised for sale with the 2000 livery on it:
The car was then rebuilt and the Livery recreated with 1999 numbers reinstated, in a slightly lighter shade.
It was then seen driving at a track day in Circuit Albi in June 2015:
It was then spotted in 2020 owned by Wax Racing:
#007 remains in its 1999 season "mad max" Livery. It now has gearbox 31 in the car.
