Not sure what he did in '85 though?

Norris entered a Rover Vitesse backed by C&D Warranties, the same people that sponsored Dave Pinckney for years, in 1986 or 1987....
There was a photo in Autosport of an accident my car had at Brands in 1985. Well and truly crumpled after hitting the bank on the outside of what used to be called Bottom Bend. There were bits of it flying through the air, with the raminder of it embedded in the bank behind the pits, in the photo. Not sure if it was Norris or Peter Buxdorf driving it at the time. The car certainly lived on after that.
