Didn't Rivett drive a BTCC Pug at some point? Or am I mixing him up with someone else?

Regardless, CAN'T WAIT for Sunday morning for some touring car goodness. Do the clocks go forward on Sunday morning in Blighty? I forget what ungodly hour I'll have to get up.

Danny Buxton was it not?

Cheers. Also, I've realized I was mixing Rivett up with Daniel Buxton.

It is easy to get those two mixed up, considering how many times their paths have crossed in Clios over the years.

Gilham has confirmed there will be 1 Passat for Brands along with both Insignia's. We should get Passat number 2 at Donny

I've added this weekend's timetable to the first post. Double Clio Sunday!

It worries me that FFord is on at times when it might not be shown live...

Is that what we expected, or we're both Passat's supposed to be ready for Brands?

It was a bit debatable if they were going to get 2 Passat's ready. I think the plan was to get both cars ready, but they haven't managed it.

Doubly worrying in that Palmer's F4 farce is going to get hour long highlights on ITV4 so we need FFord to be live and put on great racing to combat that nonsense.
Might have slicks and wings, but it's still FFord and needs to beat this upstart F4 thing :p

Double Clio Sunday? I can hear the teams whining about lack of repair time already! :lol:

I was doing a search on Youtube for Jeff Allam, hoping to find some of early 80's BSCC footage. Instead, I found this...

1994 Kyalami International Super Touring Challenge Race



Drivers - Michael Briggs, John Cleland, Grant McCleery, Anthony Reid, Shaun van der Linde, Joachim Winkelhock, Alex Burgstaller, Deon Joubert, Ivan Capelli, Nic de Waal, Serge Damseaux, Will Hoy, Hannes Grobler, Tiff Needell, Jeff Allam, Farouk Dangor, Julian Bailey, Mike White, Marco dos Santos, Ian Khan, Anthony Taylor, James Weaver, Paul Radisich, Sarel van der Merwe, Kelvin Burt, Ben Morgenrood, Hilton Cowie, George Fouché

The BTCC drivers (at that time) are bolded. But there are some other very recognisable names in there as well. I'm trying to see if I can find any additional details on this event. I'd never heard of it's running before today.

Entry list for that event here. They had a couple of non-championship DTM events at Kyalami as well.

91 and 92, out the top of my head. They were televised in South Africa.

Burt did a one off race with Prodrive's BMW squad in either 1990 or 1991, as he was a member of the BMW-Junior team (along with Kurt Luby and Tim Sugden). Anthony Reid's first BTCC race was the 1994 TOCA Shoot Out. Although that was non-championship.

Aye I meant for a full blown season, not just one off drives.

Tell you something though. It's crazy to think Burt's first drive in the BTCC was over 20 years ago.
