11/ Tatraplan Sport-T602, GP Brno 1949, 25 September 1949 # 31 - Bruno Sojka (limited edition of 50 pcs.).

Car with the Reg No. M-044 NJ took the lead, but eventually finished second, due to problems with the brakes, but managed to win the hp class.

2 / Tatraplan-T602 Sport, Grand Prix of Czechoslovakia, Brno 25th September 1949 # 22 - Bruno Sojka (limited edition of 300 pcs.).

The second car (M NJ-045) was prepared for the most important post-war Czechoslovak. race. Czechoslovak automobile Grand Prix 1949 took place with the participation of the world elite and that corresponded with the interest of the viewers, which was reported around 400 000. The GP winner, Whitehead won on the Ferrari, Bruno Sojka finished the race in ninth place, unlike the compressor equiped vehicles, he did not need to refuel and this way he managed to compensate the undoubted handicap of his Tatraplan four-cylinder engine.

 

 

 

 

  

Both models represent the first version of the T602. Small air intakes for the front brakes, aerodynamic cover of the drivers head and the rear end with no outlet openings from the rear fenders - these are the visually most striking characteristics of this version. The engine hood had only one air intake. After the experience from the first races, the car-body of Tatraplan-Sports were changed.

4 / Tatraplan Sport-T602, GP endurance, Brno 8. October 1950, # 2 - Veřmiřovský / Kopecky, 3rd place (limited edition of 100 pcs.).

The second Tatra in this endurance race had a Reg. No. M-NJ 044.

Afterwards, during short races, both cars started with small headlights and oval windshields..
