I'm sure JC didn't race a Valour. Would have to look up the old mags to see what his winning mount was. In would have thought probably a Van Diemen
Larry Mulholland left me test-drive the Swift at Timaru during the championship season. It was - I think - the fourth FF I'd driven, and was immediately struck by how driveable it was, with much softer suspension than the competition. Trouble was, my shoulders were a lot broader than Jeff Pascoe's and I simply couldn't drive the thing properly. A huge disappointment
When Rob Lester bought the car, he stiffened the suspension and it never went so well again...
