I realise I got it wrong on the date as I forgot Eddy D'Hoe mentioned he had an ex-Maublanc March 742 with Schnitzer engine before the Ralt, so it is most likely the March he bought in 1980.

Did you say D'Hoe bought the March from Philippe Porcheur? Porcheur had the ex-Bernard-Etienne Grobot March 772 in 1980 so I can only assume he'd have had the ex-Maublanch 742 earlier than that. So 1978 or 1979?

Allen,
Will have to call him again but this does not seem to fit. He said he first had the BT36, bought in 1979, then the Philippe Porcheur March 742. |

Allen,
Have spoken to Eddy D'Hoe. Got the dates now. This is however not the right place to post all this as non-Ralt cars are also covered: Royale RP6/6 bought at the end of 1978 sold at the end of 1979 to Jacques Petitjean (Belgium) with BDG and FT200 Brabham BT36-1 bought at the end of 1979 sold at the end of 1980 March 742 741 tub Schnitzer engine ex MRS bought at the end of 1980 from Philippe Porcheur (France) sold at the end of 1981 to Pierre Evrard (Rochefort - Belgium) Ralt RT1 bought at the end of 1981 sold at the end of 1982 to Jean Blaton as a R/C with FT200 phdm |

Our RT1 has optional front wishbone pick up points for both wide and narrow track. The original wishbones allow the front wheels to sit behind the F2 sized nose, and out of the air stream. From memory, there are 3 sizes of RT1 front wishbones - and all suitable for F2, but depending on your front suspension pick up point position.
Philippe - you say the Blaton car was 4 years old when it came to Belgium? This would make it an early RT1 from 1976. Our baulkhead has a AM 78 date stamping. Do you know if the front was replaced after an accident? I think the Blaton chassis is a 78 chassis, because of the AM baulkhead stamping and twin pick up front suspension option. |

Just to draw people's attention, so that perhaps no one buys a car under any illusions.
Over f3classic.com an RT1 chassis 59 is for sale as ex Piquet According to Ralt records this car was sold to Marcel Wettstein in Switzerland and just for the record Piquet raced three RT1s that I know of 1977 chassis 63 [observed by Adam Ferrington at British GP] 1978 112 early season car, later a spare used by Fernando Jorge, with period observations of the number 131 new at British GP 1978 Chris |

As to Piquet's cars Guido Pardini got 63 in 1978 - described as ex Piquet at the time and I think that car actually belonged to Scuderia Mirabella Mille Miglia. It's for sale in Autosprint early 1979 Fernando Jorge, who already has chassis 82 at Cloud Engineering in 1978 - a car he's had since July 1977 - also runs 112 late season when Piquet goes to F1, perhaps renting 82 to Ian Flux. Autosport gives chassis number for Jorge 12.10.78 p. 46 and says it's Piquet's spare. However, I think that in 1979 Jorge is back in chassis 82 Placido Inglesias has an ex Piquet RT1 in 1979 but this could, I suppose, be any of the three. |

Ralt RT1 102
Hi, am new to this so you will have to forgive me.
I own Ralt RT1 102 and would like to try to trace the history. I know that it was registered on 26/1/78 and went initially to Rochat Ansermoz in Switzerland and was red in colour. Have evidence of hillclimbing in Switzerland from May 95 until July 98...... thats about it. Does anyone have any useful info please, thanks. Last edited by John Turner; 16 Feb 2009 at 08:59. |

Ansermoz was Swiss Ralt agent.
Rochat was, I think, Jean-Pierre Rochat. Suspect a season or two Euro F3 1978/79 and then maybe hillclimbs and Swiss races in Germany and northern Italy. Chris |

Hi both, thanks for the info, I would be grateful if anyone has any contact details for Jean Pierre Rochat or any idea of what happened to the car in between 1980 and 1995.

Don't think Mike O'B ever used the RT1 in 80 did he Chris, though he can't have been short of a few ££ if he had this and his pristine 803? Shame Dave Orbell didn't use the car when he ran it for Dixon, he was very quick in Clubmans as I remember.

I don't think O'Brien ever ran it, Dan. O'Brien was a model of the competent driver who is excellent at getting sponsorship [kind of a Guy Edwards of the lower formulae]. He had money from Girobank in FF1600, that expanded into a deal in FF2000 with Richard Dutton running the car, then into F3 for several years with Marches and an Anson [by which time I think Luton airport was backing him].
I agree about Dave Orbell - he was handy in Clubmans. |
