Dan Rear should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Mansilla looked OK in F3 in 82, running Byrne close for the title. However, with the wonders of hindsight, the people he competed with that year didn't do much thereafter, with one exception. Those who flopped after I'd put Byrne himself, Scott, Toledano, Weaver (at the top level). The exception was Brundle who had a good GP and Sportscar career. Mansilla didn't do a lot in F2 the year after, I think maybe his career in Europe was stymied by the Falklands...
