Dan Rear should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Driftwood, interesting stuff on 782s. Car -23 was I think NOT an original Toleman one, but the Henton 78 car. When Henton went with Toleman in 79 with the RT2, I assumed he brought -23 with him as a 'dowry' ! By early 79, the real Toleman car -2, was with Paul Smith, so they used -12 and -23 while getting the RT2s up to speed. This is how I thought things were anyway, feel free to correct me.

On the Peach car, the one he raced in DBT at Donington April 11, is NOT a Toleman car, a chap I spoke to confirmed this, despite the livery. You infer he has another one too, I presum this second one is ex-Toleman.

I wonder, could we do an updated list of cars as we now think they may be, including the various 79 onwards UK hillclimbers ??
