A few updates from old paper notes tranferred to pc - with all the danger of in-accurasy and false transcripts. No Autosport for that round, sorry.

Seing that Frank Sytner was beaten by young teammate Kelvin Burt, I wonder if the thought of "Oh no, not again!" wondered through his head.

Just tripped over something interesting- Don't know how long they've been doing this, but the BRDC have a photo print sales website-
http://www.brdcprints.co.uk/index.php

Looking at this, they currently list photos of a fair proportion of the 1990/1991 BTCC grid, including some of the occasional and one-off entries- Amato Ferrari's Crypton RS500, Andy Middlehurst's one-off run in Mike Newman's RS500, and David Coulthard's sole BTCC start for Vauxhall all feature

Looking through them, spotted a couple of things. Firstly, I thought that Mike Smith only appeared once in the red/white Trakstar Sierra before it was sold to Graham Hathaway- looking at this pic,
http://www.brdcprints.co.uk/lowres/1...n/1/356842.jpg
he seems to have appeared in Round 1 at Oulton as well. Note Mike Newman's Sierra, without Listerine sponsorship, and with the 'Mad Mike' sunstrip in response to a Dave Brodie comment, as discussed earlier in the thread.

Secondly, the Jerry Mahony BRR Motorsport/Arquati M3- from the pic I've got, this ran with race number 69. I'd assumed it kept the same number after Ian Flux took over the drive late-season- On the evidence of a pic from the BRDC archive, it seems to have changed to no.59 when Fluxie replaced Mahony
