The boy could drive,remember seeing at Sandown in Hamilton's 935.
Yeah, saw him at Calder in it and nothing about it seemed to concern him at all, back it in until he had boost and almost like a Sprintcar - sideways with the fronts trying to lift off the ground (and leaving 2 black lengths of rubber.
Must be on Boobtube somewhere.

I often thought it was a shame thast apart from the Toyota sports car deal,that he was never picked up by Porsche for there sports car program,once his F1 years had pasted by.Yeah, saw him at Calder in it and nothing about it seemed to concern him at all, back it in until he had boost and almost like a Sprintcar - sideways with the fronts trying to lift off the ground (and leaving 2 black lengths of rubber.

He wanted to be 'at home' in Australia. Such things would have interfered, but the conflicts came when money was waved about with the Beatrice deal.

Apart from the money that was a waste of 2 years,during that time he could have been a gun in Group C sports cars.I think he had severe conflicts...

While Alan was racing for Carl Haas in F5000 he was jetting back and forth across the Atlantic. Living in England and racing in America. Any idea what years?
And, more especially, which issue of Racing Car News carried his column about his racing at this time?
I hope we can get answers to these things...

Okay, who are the experts?

It would be great if Alan himself would contribute to this thread :-)

And it was all at the end of the '78 season. Or at least what I've found so far. I'm actually looking for where he wrote his reasons for flying in the Concorde all the time.

Hopefully he can become more involved as the season goes on, but I feel he is talking from a different era, an era which is long gone.
