Amato Ferrari finished 31st that year, but I can only find traces of him from the opening Monza round in March. From what I can gather from my limited Italian and various translation services on the net, the car is said to be Eggenberger prepared and run by Team Crypton owned by Bello. The Bello would likely be Swiss Luigi Bello who raced a red Eggenberger prepared car in the opening round of the 1989 CIVT. This car was red and here it would be interesting to see pictures of the two cars that might turn out to be one and the same. This sounds as something for the RS500 threat. Seing the Crypton ownership is contradicting your information, chunterer, but as I said my Italian is dubious at best. Ruedi Eggenberger must have been a bit restless during 1990. From what I know he raced his own cars in the 24h races at Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps, in charge of the Ferrari car in the two BTCC races and perhaps what else Ferrari might have raced in Italy and then managing the few Allan Moffat late season races in Australia and mayby Fuji.

Round 10 - Birmingham street circuit, 27th August 1990, 18 laps. Race supporting the FIA International Formula 3000 Championship
Laurence Bristow and Graham Goode tangled at the start stopping the race. The restarted race was run over 18 laps – I believe the intended distance was 20. Stuart Donnan making his BTCC debut in the ex-JQF Engineering RS500. The car is described as converted to running a regular suspension system instead of the JQF active suspension, making the Donnan car the one that JQF finished the 1989 season with. Donnan had raced the car during some Thunder Saloon races to get enough points to his license in order to race in the BTCC. Nettan Lindgren, with the Swedish series finished weeks earlier, had invested in a new set of tyres ..that had to last the entire weekend. John Cleland was leading class B on the last lap, when Frank Sytner tried an outbraking manouvre. It failed and both ended in the guard rail. In the subsequent arguments betwin the two Cleland apparently grabbed the colors of Frank Sytner's driving suit and was fined £250 for un-gentleman behaviour.

No mention of Mahony with his DNA in the Birmingham round?
I am not disputing anything, just wondering you know! |

Round 11 – Donington Park, 16th September 1990, 15 laps
The victory secured Robb Gravett the class A title for 1990. Jeff Wilson turned up with a newly build Vauxhall Bellmont. Build by Brian Holliday of HWR Racing with help from Andy Barton. Engine by Bruce Stevens of Merlin Developments. Sponsorship from Bristol Street Motors (Sunderland), Auto Coachworks and Valvoline. All this ended with an oil leak and withdrawn. Jim McGaughay driving the car usually driven by Hugh Chalmers. Ray Bellm packed up after loosing an engine only to discover the replacement was no good either. Graham Goode had found a set of 2 year old Yokohama tyres. From the news September 6 1990 The Pyramid M3s will race on Yokohama tyres for the rest of the season. September 13 1990 Ian Flux has been testing the BRR BMW M3 Jesper |

Round 12 – Thruxton, 23rd September 1990, 20 laps
Robb Gravett secured the overall title with this result. Nettan Lindgren won class B. Has any female driver repeated this feat in the variety of privateer cups or +production specification cars that has been part of the BTCC since 1990? German Markus Oestreich imported from the DTM to drive the second Vauxhall Cavalier. By this point his usual mount was an Irmscher prepared Opel Omega 3.0 24V Chuck Nicholson returning to the BTCC. His latest previous race was at Oulton Park in early 1987 driving a Chris Hodgetts Corolla. Jesper |

Round 13 – Silverstone National Circuit, 7th October 1990, 25 laps
Since the Donington Park race on September 20 1987 till this race the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth has won every single round of the BTCC – 41 straight victories (42 class victories adding the Graham Goode's success at Donington Park on August 16 1987). The end of an era - and another one already on it's way. Jesper |

I always remembered this Crypton outfit being the same one as the F3000 one, no recollection of any Bello's being involved in the Crypton team of either Luigi or Noel Del varieties! Could it have been a separate Crypton? I suspect however, that the order this car follows is: Eggenberger built, Bello owned and Crypton (the same one!) prepared and entered? Why this car ran for just these 2 races in Britain with Ferrari as a driver when there would have been a host of more experienced RS500 pilots available to do the car justice is also an interesting point I think. |

A look at the Birmingham preview in Autosport August 23 has a presentation of all the F3000 teams with team principal and location. In the case of Cryptyn Engineering it is Patrizio Cantu as you said and the team being based in Como, Italy. Jesper Last edited by Jesper OH; 23 Feb 2010 at 08:34. Reason: Birmingham preview |

Jeff Wilson and Brian Holliday were (and apparently still are) business partners in HWR Racing. (HWR=Holliday Wilson Racing presumably? http://www.hwrmotorsport.co.uk/aboutus/ ) Wilson had previously raced some pretty fearsome machines, including his V8-powered VW Beetle and even more monstrous BMW M1... http://www.ingliston-circuit.co.uk/p...ton1982_5.html McGaughay is probably best-known for his highly-successful Lancia 037 clone, based on an F2 Toleman chassis http://www.lanciabetamontecarlo.nl/racing.html and later in Thundersports, in a variety of cars including the ex-Group C Grid-Cosworth, the 2-litre Grange-Hart (shared with Wilson) and a Tiga-BMW http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-05-25-055.jpg http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-04-01-054.jpg The 'FES' listed as an additional sponsor for the McGaughay M3 was his longtime sponsor Forth Electrical Services, an electrical and building services contractor, based in Stirling. http://www.fes.ltd.uk/ Last edited by KA; 23 Feb 2010 at 12:32. |

Sadly the 1990 BSP race wouldn't achieve anything much for Amato Ferrari as it wasn't in the F3000 calender in 1991! Amato Ferrari running the AF Corse team now, correct? |

http://www.brdcprints.co.uk/index.php Looking at this, they currently list photos of a fair proportion of the 1990/1991 BTCC grid, including some of the occasional and one-off entries- Amato Ferrari's Crypton RS500, Andy Middlehurst's one-off run in Mike Newman's RS500, and David Coulthard's sole BTCC start for Vauxhall all feature Looking through them, spotted a couple of things. Firstly, I thought that Mike Smith only appeared once in the red/white Trakstar Sierra before it was sold to Graham Hathaway- looking at this pic, http://www.brdcprints.co.uk/lowres/1...n/1/356842.jpg he seems to have appeared in Round 1 at Oulton as well. Note Mike Newman's Sierra, without Listerine sponsorship, and with the 'Mad Mike' sunstrip in response to a Dave Brodie comment, as discussed earlier in the thread. Secondly, the Jerry Mahony BRR Motorsport/Arquati M3- from the pic I've got, this ran with race number 69. I'd assumed it kept the same number after Ian Flux took over the drive late-season- On the evidence of a pic from the BRDC archive, it seems to have changed to no.59 when Fluxie replaced Mahony http://www.brdcprints.co.uk/lowres/1...n/1/360733.jpg |

I apologise for my laziness, I am keen to help out and plug in any gaps. I don't have much time to go through the whole thread, but could anyone point out which race results that need completing or filling in?
I got 1986-1990 Motoring News newspapers and I got it with me now. Thank you. |

Bigears, thanks for the offer, I suspect anyone interested in the Group A threads will have got your message at least twice already, depending on which order they read them in!!!
Thanks for the enthusiasm though! The 1980 Tricentrol one is the one in most need of development and to reiterate the idea is for open discussion of individual races rather than simply results. |

trying to tidy the loose ends in this one up a bit- like I've done with the others, I'll post the entry list (which I think we might have pretty much complete?) and go back through the results to see what we're missing
Only two classes this year- though having two one-hour races gives the need to fit a third driver in... Class A

Hi, sorry to rehash this old thread but I'm looking for a video online of the 1990 snetterton round, round 8 I think. I can find all other races but just not this one. Can anyone help?

I can hardly imagine the F3000 support race taking place on August 23, 1990 - that's a thursday. The F3000 race itself took place on august 19, which seems rather more likely.
