A slightly reduced entry here at Snetterton. The Newman and Leech RS500s were absent again, joined by Graham Hathaway. The class did gain one car, Dave Brodie, after sharing Goode's car at Brands, returned with his own Sierra for the first time this season.
In Class B, Nettan Lindgren was missing (racing in Sweden?), as was the Ray Armes PG Tags Honda. The Bellm Sapphire was absent again
Vic Lee was a returnee after missing Brands, Nick Baird was back in the Techspeed 318iS, after Robin Brundle & Nigel Corry shared it at Brands. At Prodrive, Tim Sugden was in the 2nd M3, and Chris Hodgetts again drove a second Vauxhall.
Ecosse Motorsport were slightly less Scottish than usual, John Llewellyn in the MF Industrial car.
A win for Gravett, with Andy Rouse finishing 4 laps down, presumably after a long pitstop- I don't recall the nature of the problem though. Class B went to Cleland's Cavalier

Added fastest race lap.
Ford Credit announced as sponsor for Robb Gravett for the rest of the season.
Gravett and Rouse had a few clashes on the opening lap, jamming a wheel in the arch of the Rouse car that made him spin at Russell. Gravett and Sytner made contact with the stationary Sierra and Rouse pitted for repairs.
I owe you, KA, for posting the 1990 results as I'm a little knackered over posting and updating these BTCC pages. But then again, it started about 3 month ago! Not that I have any regrets as my learning of the years covered has grown immensely. Thank you all for your contributions.
