Quotet from William Dale Jr. A few numbers, change of class for Minear and six entries supposedly never made it to Winton. I'm wondering why Winton would have to wait till 1988, before being allocated a round of the ATCC again - or was it the organizers that decided to miss the ATCC?
I'm looking for team principals as well, and would like to know who would be considered for the following two teams:
Toyota Team Australia - Tony Niovanni?
Network Alfa - ?
