Some practice shots from Silverstone. Volvo #1 for Cecotto/Olofsson. | Granberg and Lindström shared the #2 car. |
The Eggenberger Sierra #3 for Niedzwiedz/Soper - a character building seson for the swiss team. | Eggenberger's second car was driven by Müller Jr and Dieudonné |
Rover #7 (Hahne/Brancatelli) in the well known livery. | Rover #8 (Walkinshaw/Percy) in the well known livery. |
But Rover #9 (Allam/Hulme), the eventual winner, had different sponsorship. | HWRT Sierra: Grohs and Needell. |
This CiBiEmme car was for Rossi and Micangeli. |
Another CiBiEmme car for Bosshard and Sasiambarrena. |
The CiBiEmme #16 car for veteran Grano and Cipriani. | Another BMW for Giroux/Metge. |
The exotics: a Toyota Supra for Morris/Beacham... | ... and a Mitsubishi Starion for Brodie/Sheene, a car which unfortunately hardly took part in the BSCC, just like the Toyota on the left. |
Not every Rover is a TWR car: here the Leech/McGrath car. | A British BMW: Robinson, Birrane and Simmiss. |
The second Australian team visiting Europe: the Mobil HDT car, this time with British drivers Woodman/Cleland. | Division 2: the Linder BMW of Vogt/Oestreich... |
This second Linder car was shared by Enge and Vogt. |
... and a Mercedes pack consisting of Carlsson and Serge Power cars. |
The Alfetta GTV's were replaced by 75 V6 cars now. This is the Jolly Club car. | Yet another exotic: the Dutch Mazda 929 rotary, with a solid performance here. |
A prodsaloon Mercedes for Lepp and Eccles. |
The Seikel Motorsport semiworks Audi 80 of Seikel/Suster. |
Stallmann and Ley with their Golf. |
Hodgetts and Moss, Corolla. |
Minshaw and Hill in a second CHMS Corolla. |
Denny Hulme made a welcome return to racing in Europe. |
The two Jully Club cars side by side. | This Alfa was driven by Orlandi, Siena and Drovandi. |
Row 1: two TWR Rovers. | Row 4: Schnitzer BMW and Eggenberger Sierra. |
The start! V8s in the lead. |
|
An unlucky race for the RAS Volvo of Cecotto and Olofsson. | Walkinshaw and Percy finished third. |
The #10 Schnitzer car retired. | But this #11 car finished second. |
Carlsson Mercedes: Vojtech and Micangeli, fifth in class. | Another Carlsson Mercedes, the car of Werginz and Baron. |
Rouse and Sears were unlucky and finished just 13th. | Müller Jr and Dieudonné brought the first Sierra home in fifth. |
Two fighting groups: Grano/Cipriani (BMW 635), Vogt/Oestriech (BMW 325) and Curnow/Longman (Escort). |
If
this picture actually is from the race itself, then Postan/Cox
(Renault) did start the race; I had my doubts. Howling past is the
Rover of Hahne/Brancatelli. |
