Tomas Mezera, Van Diemen RF87, Formula Ford 1600, 1987 Formula Ford Festival?

[D-type]

Van Diemen and Formula Ford are correct, but the rest is not as the year should be a bit earlier.

[nicanary]

RF85 ?

[D-type]

That's a bit closer - but not there yet.

[nicanary]

Found it. RF84.

[D-type]

Just Who? and When? (which is obvious) to go.  I didn't ask for Where?

[nicanary]

Is it Roland Ratzen berger ?

[D-type]

Sorry, not Roland Rat

[nicanary]

Bertrand Gachot ?

[D-type]

Not him either.

[nicanary]

It's the plain white helmet that's the clue, but I can't place it. Johnny Herbert ?

Nope.  Right nationality though.
I think it's time to lock it for you

[nicanary]

Tony Bottoms ?

[D-type]

Nope

[nicanary]

Did the driver eventually drive in F1 ?

[D-type]

Yes he did

[nicanary]

Mark Blundell ?

Yes - you've got there eventually. I'll award your point and move this to "Solved" when I am next on my computer as it's too fiddly on a tablet

[nicanary]

Thanks. I too have difficulty with smaller devices, and never use my phone for AP.

I was amazed by how many "names" drove a Van Diemen RF84.

[D-type]

Now I'm back on line, I've added your point and moved it to "Solved"

The full answer is Mark Blundell, 1984 Oulton Park competing in a Dunlop Autosport Star of Tomorrow Formula Ford race, in a Fleetray Racing Team Van Diemen RF84.
