Jesper OH should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
In the June 1983 Donington video I linked to in the '83 thread it said that Frank Sytner - a former TWR/Sanyo Rover driver - had protested the Vitesses. This, then, must have been the case that was finally ended in June 1984!? What you discribe, KA, seems to be a bit of a mess regarding scrutineering, but raises another interesting question I think.

In the Rover piece it's described that cars used for the BSCC - in Sanyo colours - and cars used for the ETCC - in green/blue Fleet colours - were the same?

What I don't understand is why scrutineering of cars in 1984 should tell anything about cars that had been racing in 1983!

As for the CC BMWs I think that even the continental BMW teams were suspicious about the legality of the CC car racing in the '84 Donington 500.
