is it the 16v 2.0 Vauxhall engined car?

Was it a guy called David Carson ??... I thought it was a Alfa 3000 V6 reputedly with 250 BHP

Yes it was David Carson. Hugh's brother. Steve Struthers has the engine now. It was a 12v Alfa and it was quick. Had a ride round Donnington in it many years ago. The car was reputedly being fitted with first a Lotus V8 and later on a Ferrari engine after the Alfa went to Steve.

From those results then it doesn't look like the Carson car was so quick!
That was the year then that poor David May drove over all the way from Italy and got excluded for some minor yellow flag misdemeanour.

John.....Yes I remember David coming all the way over from Italy to the Abingdon 2003 sprint, an electrical engineer for Ferrari or Maserati ?... however his car was quick as I recall.... I have never heard of him or the car since he joined us for 1 day on the 2005 Tour of Monte Carlo Rally Stages............. yes you are right about the misdemeanour.... The Stewards of the day would not listen to the fact that he had travelled all that way !!... shame
