Good one KA, a pretty full explanation of Sytner 635 activity!

The South Africans may well have been on sussing out European touring car racing to see if they fancied coming over for more regular outings (they didn't!)

I also recall that Viana was a Bimmer man at home (random pics of Green and Black wild looking SATC 535is spring to mind) this also probably explains the drives.

They may also have been hoping that Group A regs would be adopted for their home series in which case he might have been looking at buying it, I don't know?

John Clark had a Bee-em dealership and ran a prodsaloon 635 I think, so again he may have been contemplating stepping up to BTCC? (He did in the end with an M3)
