I vaguely remember a Ford Escort celebrity race, and maybe the FF world cup thing? Didnt Ratzenberger or Favre win?

Not sure if there were other classes, but in talking with someone else, they referred to it as a Formula Ford race and that Niclas Schoenstrom from Sweden won. I know that Paul Tracy took part in it, driving for the Van Diemen factory team.

He may well have... the person I spoke to at Van Diemen didn't sound confident in their reply!

Bringing back a topic from the dead since I recently got my hands on the race programme for the Shell Gemini 1000 kms race at Brands Hatch and while searching for the results of the Race of Champions found this old thread.
I can, a few years late, answer the questions:  1. What was the date of thay 1986 Race of Champions at Brands Hatch took place? Sunday, 20th July 2. Does anyone have the roster? Eric van de Poele Svend Sylvest Hansen J.J. Lehto Phillipe Gache Antonio Simoes Scott Atchinson John Decker Jackson Yonge Roland Raztenberger Niclas Schönström Enrico Benedeti Gianfranco Cane Paul Tracy Tomas Mezera Mark Blundell Cameron Binnie Martin Boyle Frank Biela Stefan Neuberger Maarten Bottelier Patrick Duffy Peter Stoller Basil Mann Paulo Carcasi Craig Coleman 3. (Stupid question...) Was it a F1600 or FF2000 event? FF1600 |

After some more research I found the following in the Swedish auto sport yearbook from 1986:
1. Roland Ratzenberger 2. Paolo Carcasci 3. Antonio Simoes ... 6. J.J. Lehto ... 11. Niclas Schönström According to the report Niclas Schönström started fourth, was up to 2nd but then his engine shut off and continued to turn on and off for two times more. It appears that Schönström won the race in 1985. |
