Tim Tyrer and Ralph Whitby.
Just trying to remember if that was the year they entered in a Mazda RX3 or if they were still in the Mk1 Twincam.

Thanks Chris.
I seem to remember this was the first ever entry of a rotary engined car on the RAC.
I used to work for Tim at weekends and holidays at his narrowboat hire business while I was still at school!
There was always loads of car related stuff going on at Bartington Wharf, including restoration of a Connaught F1 car. Tim was responsible for my interest in both cars and canal boats and has therefore cost me a piggin' fortune throughout my life!!
