Thank you very much Fred. As I thought, I had incomplete data from those years.

George Lidbury(?) - ...? Simpson GB Ford Escort RS
Cristopher Wothen(Worthen?) - ...? Simpson GB Ford Escort RS 2000

Please help me with these names from 1977

[FAL]

Christopher (Chris) Wathen. Best known for Vospers of Plymouth RS1600 around 74 time. An identical car in same colours was run by Norman Anstis (who ran a pub in Newquay!).
Can't immediately think of a Lidbury.
Was Simpson co-drivers name or a separate driver. There was brothers Geoff Simpson/Alan(?) Simpson around then.
Will check some entry lists. What was the particular context?

[RobertS]

'FAL' - Thank you!

They ran in Bulgaria, in 1977. You can see one of the Escorts(LUH591) in this video 00:35, 01:43, Wothen at 02:34(no.22.):

I am working on the correct start-list, but I am not 100% sure, probably:
George Lidbury(?) - John(?)Simpson GB Ford Escort RS
Christopher Wothen - George(?) Simpson GB Ford Escort RS 2000
