Rob, I'm writing up Whatever Happened To the Gold Cup Vol 2 and am looking for FF, FF2000 results from the Gold Cup from 1974 onwards?

Rob, I have almost all the numbers from 1985 but I have evidenced car 75, unknown driver and car that was 3 seconds slower than the field. Has anyone anyone any idea who this was? They could have been caught out by the wet weather, easily done

Colin Wright has run a Reynard SF79 for a very long time in the Classic and Historic Formula Ford 2000 championships using the number 75. He was still racing in 2023 so whether he would have been racing in 1985 is a moot point but racing a six year old FF2000 against the latest chassis might explain the three second gap.
