Dan Rear should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I agree with much of B48 listings, pretty sure Dauer definitely had one, didn't he finish quite well in it at one of the early season German rounds, thats in the top 10 I mean, not any higher !

I'd forgotten about the RAM/de Dryver car, but it does ring bells. Was he entered for one of the F2 races in 79, he did Aurora with RAM that year of course. I must admit when I saw the entry (in a Belgian F2 round??) I suspected it may have been the B42 they had for Regout that year updated, rather than a brand new B48.

The Japanese car may well have existed, it would make the nos add up, since I'm pretty sure Rahal did have 2. I think this 'cos 2 of the 3 that came to Britain in 80 were listed as ex-Rahal, that is the Booth and Baker cars. I think Robinson had '08' which he used from late-79 , the ex-Gaillard/Devaney one that EJ used at Phoenix Park. I suspect we may never the whole truth, I guess the Bolton records were not that important at the time.

Btw where can I get the F1R records, are they on the web anywhere ?
