Wenn das Feld der Historic Championship CanAm & Sportscars auf die Strecke geht, dann bebt in der Eifel die Erde: An der Spitze tummelt sich eine kleine Horde von beeindruckenden offenen Sportwagen-Biestern, die mit ihren gro\u00dfvolumigen Motoren und unglaublichen Leistungsdaten beeindrucken. Die 50 Jahre und mehr auf dem Buckel merkt man ihnen dann kaum an. Besonders hervorstechend: Die Fahrzeuge, die einst in der CanAm auftrumpften. Doch w\u00e4hrend man die absolut beeindruckenden McLaren-Modelle hier und da beim BELMOT Oldtimer-Grand-Prix in der Vergangenheit schon sah, gibt es in diesem Jahr tats\u00e4chlich Besuch von der anderen Seite des Atlantiks: Kyle Tilley, Jason Miller und Kurt Bennett flogen aus den Staaten ein und brachten ihre Shadow-Sportwagen mit: Sportprototypen nach Gruppe-7-Spezifikation, die Anfang bis Mitte der 70er f\u00fcr die nordamerikanische CanAm entstanden.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eWir haben die Autos urspr\u00fcnglich f\u00fcr das Goodwood Festival of Speed nach Europa gebracht und erhielten die Einladung, auch hier zu starten\u201c, schildert Kurt Bennett (Shadow DN2). Die Einladung nahmen die drei Piloten gerne an, und zeigen nun am N\u00fcrburgring, was in den Boliden mit ihren \u00fcber 8 Litern Hubraum und um die 1.000 PS Leistung so steckt \u2013 Sportwagen der alten Schule eben. Als \u201ebrutal schnell und aufregend zu fahren\u201c, beschreibt Bennett das, und als \u201ewirklich gute Show.\u201c Die Shadows treten dabei gegen Fahrzeuge aus ganz unterschiedlichen Meisterschaften an. \u201eDas macht die Sache etwas knifflig\u201c, beschreibt der US-Amerikaner. Die neueren Fahrzeuge m\u00f6gen \u00e4hnliche Rundenzeiten wie wir fahren \u2013 aber auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise. Auf der Geraden sind wir 30 Meilen (!) schneller als die anderen, die aber daf\u00fcr h\u00f6here Kurvengeschwindigkeiten erzielen\u201c.<\/p>\n

Als diese Fahrzeuge entstanden, gab es in der Sportwagenklasse im Vergleich zu heute weit weniger enge Regelwerke . \u201eMan hat solche Autos gebaut, wie eben unsere Shadow\u201c, sagt Bennett, \u201esie waren aufregend und schnell\u201c. Und Kollege Kyle Tilley erg\u00e4nzt: \u201eIn der Kurve steht man mit solchen Autos auch mal quer. Sie sind schon cool zu fahren.\u201c Tilley kann auch erkl\u00e4ren, welche besonderen Beweggr\u00fcnde die US-Boys in die Eifel gezogen haben, denn \u201ef\u00fcr mich ist es das erste Rennen auf dem N\u00fcrburgring. Und das, obwohl ich sicherlich 100 oder 200 Runden bei den Touristenfahrten auf der Nordschleife gedreht habe.\u201c Eine besondere Hingabe zum Ring also? \u201eSo kann man es wohl nennen\u201c, lacht Tilley. \u201eEs handelt sich ja um eine Art geweihten Boden. Die gro\u00dfen Strecken der Welt \u2013 wie Monza, der N\u00fcrburgring oder auch Spa \u2013 sind auch heute noch die besten zu fahren. Da kommen die neuen Retortenstrecken einfach nicht mit.\u201c<\/p>\n
