TOCA Shoot-out
I vaguely remember the shoot-out due to Mansell and Needell get together but I was wondering remembers what the format of the race was and if anyone has the entry list to the race?
Blackadder! Blackadder! With many a cunning plan,
Blackadder! Blackadder! You horrid little man.

Thanks Iain. I had not realised that there were 3 Shootouts, I thought there was just the one in 1993. What happened in the other two races and who took part?

They also had an end-of-season BTCC race in 1996 and 1997, both times at Donington, with the winner being awarded the RAC Tourist Trophy.
Alain Menu won in both times

The 94 Toca Shoot-Out was one of the support races for the Touring Car World Cup race- the full entry was (in race result order)
1 Paul Radisich (Team Mondeo/Ford Mondeo)
2 Jeff Allam (Vauxhall Sport/Vauxhall Cavalier)
3 John Cleland (Vauxhall Sport/Vauxhall Cavalier)
4 Anthony Reid (Vauxhall Sport/Vauxhall Cavalier)
5 Patrick Watts (Peugeot Sport/Peugeot 405Mi16)
6 Giampiero Simoni (Alfa Corse/Alfa Romeo 155TS)
DNF
Steve Soper (BMW M-Team Schnitzer/BMW 318iS)-black flagged
Eugene O'Brien (Peugeot Sport/Peugeot 405Mi16)
James Kaye (Enny Team Maxted/Toyota Carina E)- black flagged
Julian Westwood (Roy Kennedy Racing/Vauxhall Cavalier)- black flagged
Robb Gravett (Team Mondeo/Ford Mondeo)- black flagged
Tiff Needell (Old Spice Nissan Racing/Nissan Primera)- black flagged
Gabriele Tarquini (Alfa Corse/Alfa Romeo 155TS)
Nigel Smith (Team HMSO/Vauxhall Cavalier)
Matt Neal (Team Mazda/Mazda 323F Lantis)- black flagged
As in the earlier Shoot-Outs, after a certain distance, the guy running last on each lap was black flagged, and there were a few unusual car/driver combinations- Vauxhall fielding a third Cavalier for Anthony Reid, Julian Westwood (ex-F3 and F3000) in what I think was his only touring car drive in Roy Kennedy's Cavalier, Robb Gravett in one of a his appearances in a works-backed Rouse Mondeo, Matt Neal in the Mazda 323, and from memory I think James Kaye used one of the TOM'S/Castrol cars, rather than his regular Carina

4 Jo Winkelhock (BMW Team Schnitzer/BMW320i)
5 Tim Harvey (Total Team Peugeot/Peugeot 406)
6 James Kaye (Honda Team Linder/Honda Accord)
7 Warren Hughes (Valvoline Team Mondeo/Ford Mondeo)
8 Eugene O'Brien (???/Honda Accord)
9 Jan Brunstedt (Vauxhall Sport?/Vauxhall Vectra)
DNF
Will Hoy (Williams Renault Dealer Racing/Renault Laguna)
John Cleland (Vauxhall Sport/Vauxhall Vectra)
Marco Werner (Honda Team Linder/Honda Accord)
Hamish Irvine (Mint Motorsport/Vauxhall Cavalier)
Ian Heward (Promotor Sport/Vauxhall Cavalier)
Several of the regular BTCC factory teams only fielded single cars (Audi, Ford Peugeot etc)
I think Brunstedt's Vectra was run by Vauxhall Sport- he'd bought one of the team's 1996 BTCC cars to race in Sweden for 1997.
From memory, the Eugene O'Brien Honda entry was intended as a 1997 BTCC entry which never happened- I can't remember the team involved without digging out the original race programme.
The 1997 TT was run to a totally different format- 3 races, 2 heats and a final with the grid for the second race being lined up in reverse order of qualifying times and the third based on race 1 and 2 results- this led to the interesting spectacle of several of the quick guys (Menu, Leslie and Hoy) trying to qualify as slowly as possible in order to start race 2 on the front row, usually by standing on the brakes just before the end of the lap!
The entry was a mixture of BTCC regulars and some interesting visitors.
Final result
1 Alain Menu (Williams Renault Dealer Racing/Renault Laguna)
2 Jason Plato ((Williams Renault Dealer Racing/Renault Laguna)
3 Rickard Rydell(Volvo S40 Racing/Volvo S40)
4 Frank Biela (Audi Sport UK/Audi A4 Quattro)
5 Yvan Muller (Audi Sport UK/Audi A4 2wd)
6 Anthony Reid (Vodafone Nissan Racing/Nissan Primera)
7 Will Hoy (Team Mondeo/Ford Mondeo)
8 Armin Hahne (Volvo S40 Racing/Volvo S40)
9 John Bintciffe (Audi Sport UK/Audi A4 Quattro)
10 Kris Nissen (Abt Sportsline/Audi A4 Quattro)
11 Matt Neal (Team Dynamics/Ford Mondeo)
12 Christian Abt (Abt Sportsline/Audi A4 Quattro)
13 Paula Cook (Vodafone Nissan Racing/Nissan Primera)
14 Jonny Kane (Team Honda Sport/Honda Accord)
15 Tim Sugden (Mint Motorsport/Vauxhall Cavalier)
16 Kari Makinen (Team Dynamics/Nissan Primera)
17 Jan Brunstedt (Opel Team Sweden/Opel Vectra)
DNF
David Leslie (Vodafone Nissan Racing/Nissan Primera)
John Cleland (Vauxhall Sport/Vauxhall Vectra)
Paul Radisich (Team Mondeo/Ford Mondeo)
DNS
Tord Linnerud (Opel Vectra GT)
Aaron Slight (Team Honda Sport/Honda Accord)
Muller's Audi was actually run by one of the European Audi teams (ROC I think), and was the first of the 2wd cars Audi would race in 1997.
Peugeot entered, but as I recall, they didn't turn up as the cars had allegedly been delayed in shipping back from Bathurst and weren't ready in time- Vauxhall's single-car effort may have been for the same reason.
The Makinen Primera was Matt Neal's late-season BTCC car, which Makinen had bought to race in Sweden- Matt reverted to the early-season Mondeo for the TT.
Slight's Honda was damaged in a shunt in race 1 and couldn't be repaired in time for the other two races, and Linnerud was another heat 1 retirement

I'll dig out the full result and entry list later- from memory, the other starters were Andy Rouse and James Kaye in Toyotas, Dave Coyne in a Peugeot, Odor's Nissan, Jeff Allam in the second works Cavalier and Dennis Leech's Sierra.
With no BMW entry, 1992 champion Tim Harvey drove the Safety Car as I recall.....!

Was the 1992 Toca Shootout safety car driven by Will Hoy rather than Tim Harvey? I remember Will driving it at one point in one of these events. I remember Ian Flux and Gary Ayles in Peugeots for the 1992 event as well, Flux in a Peugeot Talbot Sport machine (which I think became his 1993 RKR BTCC entry) and Ayles in a Peugeot Sport Italia entry.You lot still here?!

He needs to handle such things. It´s a long rally, and he should apply that in his thoughts.
