Jon64 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Ford Escort Race, Brazilian GP 1984

Peter Windsor's personal blog mentions a support race for the 1984 Brazilian GP; which essentially was a Pro-Am race that seems to have been otherwise largely unreported. I’ve established that it was a 5-lap event where F1 drivers were paired with journalists in Ford Escort XR3s, possibly all in JPS livery. The journalists took the start; after 2 laps there was a compulsory pit-stop and a driver change when the GP stars took over. Windsor shared with Niki Lauda, the pair finishing fourth after being t-boned early on by Winklehock's German scribe co-driver; apparently Lauda vowed never to compete again in such an event.

Period publications and official results make no mention of this race; can anyone shed some light on what happened, or even better provide any photographs (in particular I am seeking images of the cars handled by Lauda and Patrese).

Really appreciate any input here!

Interesting... We'll see if I could find anything in the local press.
