>From article <1993Oct21.130404.12364@vmark.co.uk>, by mynard@vmark.co.uk
(Alan Mynard):
> Nigel Mansell is going to be a busy boy at the TOCA shootout in a couple
> of weekends time at Donnington. Not only is he driving a Ford Mondeo
> in the main event but it has now been announced that he will pilot a
> works TVR Tuscan in the TVR Challenge race.
>
> The Ford drive will probably turn out to be a demonstration drive given
> the supremacy of the Mondeos at the moment - they dominated the FIA
> Touring Car Challenge at monza last weekend. But the TVR drive should
> be something else! He will be in an almost identical car to everyone
> else and up against drivers that have been racing in the machines all
> season. He doesn't get to see the car he will drive until the first
> practice session on the Friday. Should be quite interesting.....
