Early GT Turbo Coupe literature
I have gone through all of our stuff and found the earliest literature regarding the championship. Its a nice glimpse into the excitement surrounding the new championship.
I only have these two, but I know more exists:

These are both local newspaper clippings.
A mention of me in the lower article (one of the recently-arrived twins) :)

Sam - Have you ever posted anything not interesting? :laugh:
I've got a magazine article from 1985 where Steve Soper tested the gtt coupe, the Metro, and the mk2 Fiesta, all from their upcoming one make championships :cool:
I've got no scanner at the mo. I'll see if I can get it uploaded at some point though, if anybody's interested.

I have heard of that article Bill, You must have mentioned it before. Get scanning matey :cool:
I imagine Autosport must have run a similar article when the Coupe's first came in to Britain, somebody must have it....
There seems to be very little known about the '85/'86 championships. It would be good to piece it all together.
I am not sure if it was a 'Renault backed' championship in '85....
Renault list their 1985 champion as my Dad, who won in the TS's, which seems strange if the GT Turbo's where fresh in the country.

It didn't take long to find an Autosport issue with a 1985 5GT Turbo coupe test drive:
