If it's the Burke-Ratcliffe Racing I'm thinking of, then they'd been around for a couple of years by then

Thanks for clearing that one up Jesper- I must have lost the programme for that one fairly soon after the meeting, as I didn't have any recollection waht it looked like. I guess Interserie took precedence on the grounds that as low-profile as it was, it was still an FIA-sanctioned international series.

Slightly off-topic, but it's Richard Piper (80's/90's sportscar privateer, cars usually entered under the PC Automotive name....

...rather than David Piper, the famous Ferrari sportscar privateer

Thanks for filling in the missing details- I'd got most of the results for these copies from Autosports and MNs, but the most original source magazines are currently stored 200 miles away, so can't check anything beyond what I originally copied down from them- and this exercise has filled in quite a lot of gaps for me, especially for some of the earlier seasons
