David Lang was well thought of in 76, he won a few races in his first year racing over here in the Dunlop SoT series. He was an Aussie as I recall, I guess thats how he ended up with a Tiga in their first year, and of the SoT series. It was won bu Sean Walker as I remember with a Royale.
Strangely the next year, 77, Lang was in Rallying as part of a 'Ford backs young talent' type team, alongside Tim Brise (mentioned on other thread recently), and one Malcolm Wilson. Don't know what happened to Lang after, but he must have been a pretty talented guy to do well in FF and Rallying. Any of our Oz friends know any more.
Bill Coombes Tiga, was I think, the next year, 77, when he raced against Willie T Ribbs amongst others. He was the first black driver I remember, rumoured to be connected to Muhalled Ali.
