Sorry for ttthe humungous thread revival from the depths, but I was just watching the UK Comms 1993 DTM season review and it referred to the Linder Jägermeister BMW above driven by Amin Hahne as being built in the UK by TC Prototypes for Linder. Googling the name brought up this thread, how true was that statement? Who exactly were TC Prototypes?
I guess this thread could go in the historic section now too? |

TC Prototypes was John Thompson, father of James Thompson. They were a specialist race car fabricator. Relevant to this forum they did the 90s BTCC Honda Accords and DTM Audi TTs, plus loads of other things prior to that.

Sorry to correct you Redshoes, but that's a different person. James' dad was David "Piggy" Thompson.

Call it old age, I was getting mixed up. Foss-Tech did the Accords / Audi TTs. TC Prototypes was John Thompson's company
