Original, or is it the Italian 'originali'? It all dates from quite a while ago, anyway. See the Ferrari 250 GTO, which was a homologation special for 'production' GT racing, if I remember rightly.

But I probably don't.

It's italian for "omologato", meaning of course homologation special.

Grand Turismo Omologato

In the British Championship it stands for 'Original'- as in the car is supposed to be close to its original specification
