It must have been 90 when I was there then.. veeery hazy about the year.. but I'm sure they had the mini stand up again.. but i do remember that the pool was bloody freezing!! we had pit passes that year.. ' team lee davey' ..and we hired them out overnight an hour at a time.. made a fortune

is that Tim Lee Davey?  i recall he ran a 962C

thats the chicken... he had the pre rfH idea of buying a sticker that you signed and it was put on his car... we had the car (minus the engine of course) transported to jersey for a weekend and parked it outside my mates auto accessory shop and sold quite a few stickers.. so we got mechanics go anywhere passes and boy we went everywhere

wonder what happened to him.. probably drunk himself silly

I stayed there in 89, they had a field at the crossroads next to the Porche Curves. Never stayed with them again, but I did here in 96 that they were arrested an there campsite was closed down, because they did'nt have a license, not sure if that was true or not. In 89 they built a small grandstand in the back garden, which gave a great view. As an afterthought, if I recall correctley this was a year of the Mazda screech.

never stayed there, but do recall it. Ironically, we did go looking for the house this year.

yep, was the year of the Mazda, and also the Aston AMR1 - totally opposite sounds!   Merc won that year too.

i know he had a team the following year too, and then had an interest in a team two year after that. No idea there afters..    a company i worked for in the motor inndustry did some sponorship for the team, and donated parts to his 89 effort -  probarbly why he broke down! the team did run a limited budget. He was involved in Penthouse magazine, as via him we placed a couple of double page adverts over a  few different editions.
