However I noticed on RSC that he entered a Radbourne X1/9 Dallara at the Silverstone 6 hours in May 1979, (car #53) but DNA'd.

I can remember a very wet early March meeting at Thruxton in about 1981 which featured a great scrap between Soper and his little X1/9 and Rob Cox Allison and I think the original Black Brick. Lap after lap Cox Allison came through teetering right on the limit of adhesion holding off Soper's more manageable Fiat. Unfortunately for Rob on the last lap his balancing act came to an end and he ended up spinning and entering the pit lane backwards ! Hopefully the new series can provide as much entertainment.
