Jaguar powered Lister Costin was driven by former 1970s touring car racer John Fitzpatrick. This was one of the earliest examples of a-ex professional driver competing at a historic event. Frank Sytner was also a regular at the time. But whereas Sytner drove fast but clean, Fitzpatrick drove like he was still racing touring cars in the 1970s, and the Lister was looking pretty battle-scarred by the end of the weekend. This sort of thing is now common at high-profile historic events, its almost expected the old pro's beat the crap out of someone else's hugely valuable historic racer, but back in 1993 there were a lot of grumblings about the Fitzpatrick's behavior.
