The new season promised much. Although the BMW teams of Prodrive and Vic Lee did not take part anymore because of different reasons, from Germany the Schnitzer team took over; left in the cold by the DTM they entered Jo Winkelhock and Steve Soper in Britain. Another new team was GB Motorsport forming the Renault dealer team with the little 19. Ford was missing this first round, but a Toyota junior team, a Xedos 6 for Patrick Watts and a number of privateers rounded off the entry. Practice saw Soper taking pole, but more significant: the first 14 cars were within 1 second, barely half a second split the first seven. |
