I'm not sure about the upgrading of 044-F3 because that chassis number
doesn't explain it as the car Nugent ran in 1979.
If we know 41 and 42 to have been 1980 F3s then the 1979 car has to be
a lower number than that. I think Nugent might have had two cars replacing
a 79 JM3 with a JM6/8 hybrid in 1981 at some point.
Regardiing number sequence: 037 is a works JM6 F3 used as a spare by Tassin and raced by him at Mallory Park in Sept 1980. 033 is a 1979 SV used by Werner Erhard in USA. It looks to me as though 036 is the last 1979 car built.
Regarding Rackham's notebook: September 15 was a Saturday, and Brands did allow a limited amount of testing on Saturdays if there was a school going on at the same time. [I still remember spinning on John Oxborrow's oil on the exit of Paddock on one of these occasions...] Will check if there was a libre at Donington Sept 16 or maybe Dan will know.
The last Atlantic round was at Brands, October 14 and ran for 52 laps.
This was the race where May appeared [7th]. Was a late entry as he's not in the programme. Rackham appeared with his Chevron B42-08, finished 6th.
Will have to have a good look at libre races in A/S.
