I was a big fan of Echappement magazine in the 80's and 90's...the Hommel Berlinette was a passionate project from Michel Hommel, former racing driver and owner of Hommel press group (with several titles dedicated to motorsport). In the 90's he decided to reinvent the old Alpine A110 ("berlinette") whit the help of Echappement readers, that were able to participate in the new car technical definition! It ended to be a road legal little rwd GT, with tubular chassis, 405Mi16 mechanics (the Pug front axle was used at the rear!) and a racing 6 gearbox. Produced in little numbers at an affordable price, it was homologated into Gr.N/GT when GT cars became allowed in french rallys. Several amateurs crews entered them in local events, without major results. I suppose production ceased in the 2000's, but some of them are still in use.

A full report can be read in this (french) blog:

Michel Hommel press group owns Echappement, but too Auto Hebdo, the two most important motorsport newspaper in France.

He shall drive R-GT cup and some events of Czech championship (maybe complete).

Has the R-GT calendar been confirmed next year? Same rounds? Would love to see them add Circuit of Ireland. But probably no one wants to stretch it to 6 rounds.

While you can never have enough Porsches, are there any other GT cars suitable for this class? I won't even suggest the Bentley, as that is like a tank....
