What happened to that bloke Kelvin Burt?

Burt was a promising driver in the mid 90s when he drove for volvo, i remember him having an awful shunt one year, but what's he up to now?
Oh yeah, what about Patrick Watts, Eugine O'Brian and others of the mid 90s era??
i've been watching the videos of 1994-1996 you see!!!!!!!

Kelvin Burt is currently in the British GT championship, in a Porsche 911 GT3. He shares the car with Marino Franchitti (Dario's brother). They are leading thier class by a large amount of points, having won most of the races.

Burt was a quick and reliable driver, but had a lot of bad luck in his career. Also, what did happen to Eugene O'Brien and Patrick Watts?

Watts raced in the 1997 BTCC and was supposed to race an Andy Rouse built Toyota Corrola in the BTCC in 1998 but never did. In 1999 he competed in a Peugeot 406 in the opening 2 rounds of the Australian Super Touring Champion, winning one of the races and having a pole position for the first race. Don't know what he has done since though.

Eugene O'Brien died in a Super Touring race in germany in 1995-1996 i think. He was hit at the side of the car. He was a promising driver aswell

no, no, that was Keith Odor that died in Germany. Eugene is still racing in some lower club series now???

Does Kelvin Burt still have a ride in the JGTC series?

God, you got my heart going for a minute! Yeah, you are reffering to O'Dor. He was a very promising driver. I think that had he not been killed he would have come back to the btcc with nissan and win the championship.

Probably retired from racing. That's good to hear he has had some success. He had some good races in the 1993-1995 era but when the peugeot got bad he couldn't do anything.
