I have been in touch with RAC MSA who organised the BTCC round and they got nothing as well.
So I have decided to look into the BTCC organisers at the time of the 1988-1990 BTCC era. As this is a very long shot but does anyone know whereabouts of the organisers:
1987: Spencer Hall (BTCC Co-ordinator)
From the 1989 ESSO BTCC media guide/information:
- Robin Bradford (Robin Bradford & Associates) Media Co-ordinator,
Gerard Sauer - Championship Co-ordinator,
Kevin Best - Sponsorship Co-ordinator.
From the 1990 ESSO BTCC Series Guide:
- Jim Wright (Active SPort Ltd) BTCC Co-ordinator,
Andrew Beint (Assistant BTCC Co-ordinator)
Robin Bradford (Robin Bradford & Associates) Media Co-ordinator.
I would appreciate anyone who would help me to find information or photos from the 1988 race and those people who was involved with the organisational side at the time. Thank you.

Robin Bradford de-camped to somewhere in the West Indies many moons ago. The last I knew of Jim Wright he was active in F1 circles but haven't seen his name in a while.
Depending on what you are trying to find out, Martin Nott may well be the person to speak to. He published the various Touring Car Yearbook's over the years & is a touring car historian. Most recently he was involved with Motor Sport magazine but his name has disappeared from the flannel panel. They might be able to tell you where to find him now.
