Racing History Today - Audi BTCC Debut?
Hope this doesn't sound like i'm being too picky or anything, but with relation to the '1996 - Audi debuted in the BTCC taking two victories for Frank Biela'.
It was their first entry in Super Touring in Britain, but they ran a factory team in 1980 and 1981 in the BTCC.

This isn't the place for thisd but I can tell you their drivers were Martin Brundle and Sir Stirling Moss.
Why not get one of the mods to move this to the Historic Forum? I'm sure you'll find someone there who can tell you all about it. |

I think racer69 is referring to the "On this day in history" list that appears on the main tentenths.com page.

Aah.
But they didn't debut on this day in 1980 did they? So it's half right anyway.

The 1996 one could probably stay, just say they rejoined the BTCC successfully, or debuted in Super Touring in the BTCC or something. As for the 1980 date, i'll have a look at the article done a few months back in 'Motorsport' and see if it gives any dates. Moss certainly doesn't want to be reminded of this episode in his career does he. His first comeback (Bathurst 1976) didn't go to plan either. |

[/Basil Fawlty]Actually Marcus don't worry. Most of the poster's in the Touring Cars forum didn't realise there was a BTCC before ST regs.
