They Drove That Car?
Discussion
A thread dedicated to forgotten rides with certain teams or cars by well known drivers, or perhaps a lesser known driver driving a well known car or for a well known team. The concept of this community is based on the many fill in drivers we have seen over the years in all forms of motorsports.
I'll start with an obvious one, Nigel Mansell driving for the works Ford team for three meetings in the 1998 British Touring Car Championship.

See any number of BTCC drivers over the years doing Bathurst in Oz, think it was ‘91 or 92 that Jeff Allam was racing a Sierra in that race.
But certainly Cleland and Plato raced over there at the same time as Cleland famously rolled his Commodore when he clipped a touring Plato.
Matt Neal ruffles a few feathers when he was overtaken on the pit straight, then passed them into Hell Corner and caused a pile up in the rain one year

More on-topic though.
Before the Maki days Tony Trimmer got to the fringes of F1 with Team Lotus in non-championship F1 races.

Scalextric made a model of the 72 (but forgot to tell Tony).
Actually your post about Moss was on-topic.Before the Maki days Tony Trimmer got to the fringes of F1 with Team Lotus in non-championship F1 races.

Speaking of Moss...
He drove a Mayfair Volkswagen Scirocco in the 1980 Willhire 24 Hour race at Snetterton, winning the Up-to-1.6 Litre Class and finishing 6th outright.
A privateer Ferrari in an F1 race.
Enzo loaned out a 312T to Scuderia Everest in early 1976.
That year Giancarlo Martini drove at the Brands RoC, it was a typically cold Brands day. Giancarlo was vigorously warming the tyres up on the formation lap when he lost it and dumped it into the Armco relatively adjacent to my feet.
