Hi Dan,
I apreciate that you have enjoyed touring-cars.com
Concerning Dieter Dahleman 's red mini, you saw him maybe at Donington for the FIA european Historic meeting normally in early september or at the Coys Festival 4 years ago.
You are right : its mini is very quick (thank you Mr longmann for the engine). He will race this week end in Monza with Mr Peter Baldwinn.
I do agree with you : we would love to go racing in england again but the FIA or the BRDC doesn't want. I hope to have an explanation one day
Touring-cars racing is really hard racing not like in many categories (maybe because of the price of the cars) but we have a bad image and maybe organisers think we are too small for them (Nurburgring accept us, why not Coys or Goodwood ?).
I really hope we will be back in england next year, we will see then.
Regards.
