<< Prev Page 2 of 2 Sharing with compatriot Kurt Simonsen and Danish racer Preben Kristoffersen, Lundgardh debuted his 935 L1 at the 1980 World Championship round at Brands Hatch. They started 25th overall and failed to finish. It was the start of a difficult season for Lundgardh as reliability issues continued to dog the fragile 'Baby'. A fifth in class, 39 laps behind the winner, in the DRM round at Diepholz would be the best result in nine outings.
The unique car was back in 1981, opening the season at the Silverstone World Championship round, Lundgardh sharing with Mike Wilds. An accident in the race ended their charge early. The car was then entered for three more World Championship rounds at the Nürburgring, Le Mans and Brands Hatch. A 19th place at Brands Hatch would be the season's best result as reliability woes continued to dog the car.
For the 1982 season, Lundgardh replaced the tiny flat six with a more conventional 3-litre, twin-turbo flat six. In this guise, the one-off 935 L1 continued to be campaigned by the Swedish driver at select events into the 1984 season. His persistence finally paid off as together with Simonsen, Lundgardh finished 18th overall and 1st in the GTX class during that year's Nürburgring 1000 km. It must be said that only one other car competed in the GTX class. << Prev Page 2 of 2
