Okay how are we going to get this movie and the Pikes Peak run and others playing at Retro Cars Show? Could stick them in one of the bigger support vehicles and play them on a laptop with a reasonable size screen or something?

I'd say laptop or PC connected to a big screen. Anyone got something large? (fnar) *n

What else competed in BTCC in that late 80s? Other than BMW and Sierra?

Maybe we should organise a Retro Rides meet at some of the historic touring car racing.
