I think one or two of them Spices should be a Se90 Group C1 car.
Should be a good race, just a bit of a shame they race last thing on the two days.
What about the GT7000? What car is it?

GT7000 was one of the ones I have no idea about, Driver is David Ellis if that helps anyone.

I think this is the GT7000, I think it was initally designed to race in the British GT's.
Mmmm - tasteeeee :D
Can't wait till Brands - assuming I survive this weekend that is!

not quite last, but close to it. Hope a few more cars turn up as well.
saturday qualifying 1630-1730 (last session)
sunday 20 minute race 1635 (followed by 2 GT practice sessions)
monday 40 minute race 1730 (last session)
still looking forward to it, I'll probably be marshalling at Paddock Hill - whoopee

Worth the entry price just to see those Jags (and the AMR-1) again!!

Did the AMR-1 run at Brands in 89? if so then it was the noise that was luverly.

I don't know for sure, it certainly ran at Dijon and Le Mans of course, but other than that I'd have to get the record books out.

I know an Aston did run at Brands in 89 (it was just which model I was unsure of)
David Leslie was one of the drivers and I'm sure they got it up to 3rd behind 2 Mercs (I've got highlights on tape somewhere, I'll give it a wee look tonight)
What are the chances of Proton letting him drive a real car?

ok bit of checking later, and there's not much out there, it seems it was the AMR1 in 89 and it finished 4th (it's best result).
Thanks to michael fuller at this site (http://www.mulsannecorner.com/aston.htm). and
another great anorak's site (http://wspr-racing.com/results/results.html) for the drivers that day - David Leslie and Brian Redman.

Baldi/Acheson Sauber C9 (which nearly hit me that day)

No Porsches at all then? Thats a bit disappointing but still a good field in any case.
Check this one out for the full 89 result.
