at the moment its between the merc 190e dtm

or the thunder saloon rs500



once we test the sierra at brands the choice will be made on its times,

on paper the sierra should be good, its very light and has as much power as anyone else,

two wheel drive and 540 bhp should see it fast enough, and bristow spend loads on the handling,

its all down to times we know the merc has done last year 50.3 at brands and 1.13 sec at snetterton

so if the sierra can get near this which i hope it can then its game on.

Martin, if it does a 49 or 50 ... can I tell Rod ... pleeeaasssee ..



With the number of cars in Class A this year I think the Champion will be in A .... allthough that depends on who takes the fight to Rod, and you was damm close with the Merc

Lovely Martin! Another awesome Touring Car!

Do you miss the ANZ car? What was the reasoning behind selling that if you don't mind me asking?

yes this is the graham goodes 1988 car

sister car to mike newmans black listerine car,

mikes newmans car was built in 88 and was white and red as it raced in the 1988 btcc and then it was painted it black for 1989 season,

graham goode built a new car for 1989 season black like mikes and my car was hired out to sean walker for the 1989 season repainted in FIA colours,

its now back in the original 1988 grahics which is how graham first built it.

What a nice rebuilt Martin. I always looked on PF for you posts. Now i made an account and i can say how impressive this all is.

Don't you have a lot of pictures from the old days when these cars raced in the BTCC?
