The old days eh!
i remember when they first came with the Van Diemans (rf78s possibly), they were absolute sheds with bits falling off (usually the silences) all over the place, we got 2 practices and races, finished for lunch and paid. At the end of the first season we go a go in the cars up and down the loop, I was 16, couldn't drive, but got a go anyway.
The FVL, Vauxhall juniors and Astras / Vectras came later - they then started being a full day with something like 8 races. Something I'll always remember is the b********g the drivers got off John(?) Kirkpatrick if they binned any of the cars.
It would be interesting to find out what happened to any of the drivers who passed through, I remeber Warren Hughes was an instructor for a while.
