Phil Dowsett running the Toyota as PDR-Toyota - could that be Phil Dowsett Racing-Toyota?

Ah yes, the infamous meeting where Dave Brodie, intervied by Steve Rider as part of the regular Grandstand delayed coverage referred to all of his competitors with the exception of Andy Rouse as 'turkeys'!!

He then went onto to use illegal fuel to back up that comment.....

Shame as I was quite excited by all the hulabaloo, Brodie's return to form and his showbiz style outburst!

The Dowsett car was IIRC pretty much self run and he struggled for budget all the way through. Your news snippet about the Smith & Latimer backing along with KA's post about the possible 'Rayscar' link up were both vital in getting Phil through the season i'd guess?
