Chris Townsend should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Andrew, thinking about your division of S.Africans in Royales and S.Americans in Van Diemens led me to this list: Chico Serra; Roberto Guerrero; Carlos Abdala; Bolivar di Sordi; Enrique Mansilla; Roberto Moreno [started in a Royale though!]; Mauricio Gugelmin; Raoul Boesel; Ayrton Senna; Luis Schafer; Fernando Ribiero [now there was a man who knew how to use the Silverstone pit exit, and his left foot in the corners]. All Van Diemen drivers. Anyone care to add to the list? [Though this is probably the wrong thread] A frightening number of those guys made it into F1. The only non Van Diemen chap I remember, who was any good, was Poncho Toledano who drove for PRS.
