Also for Round 7, a second car was announced, to be driven by Italian driver Lorenzo Turri. Turri's arrival coincided with an improvement on the track. Turri managed 4 victories before the end of the season and a best result of 4th for Manderson, the team managed to finish 3rd in the Manufacturer Teams championship.

Сын Джо

**Сын Джо** (англ. *Joe's Son*) — это галлюциногенный персонаж и угроза в первой части антологии The Dark Pictures, Man of Medan.

## Внешность

Это тот самый ребёнок, которого можно увидеть на фотографии, показанной Джо во время осмотра и оставленной у его постели. Однако в качестве галлюцинации он кажется призрачным и нежитью, с бледной кожей и видимыми венами на руках.

Его одежда состоит из чёрной рубашки поло с короткими рукавами и несколькими пуговицами (некоторые из которых сломаны), тёмно-зелёных шорт, длинных шерстяных носков и тёмных ботинок с белыми шнурками.

## Man of Medan

### 1947

Джо видит его вместо Чарли в прологе "Китайский рынок". Он носит нож, который есть у Чарли и, либо прячется в шкафчике, либо подходит к Джо. Прежде чем Джо умирает, либо от сердечного приступа (если он застрелил мальчика), либо получает удар ножом от тела, кожа на его лице отслаивается, и он кричит. Если Джо стреляет в него, он кажется невредимым и убегает.

Alfa Romeo Works Team

Alfa Romeo were involved in the British Touring Car Championship as a constructor from 1994 to 1995, racing as **Alfa Corse**.

## History

### Origins

Seeing the growing reputation and success of the Class 2 (or "Super Touring") touring car regulations introduced in the early 1990s, Alfa Romeo made the decision to develop a car to meet them, and by 1993 had developed the 155 TS into a race-ready car. After initial competition in the Championnat de France de Supertourisme, Alfa Romeo decided to enter the British Touring Car Championship in 1994 with 2 cars based on the "Silverstone" edition of the 155 - a homologation special that came with a bolt-on aero kit.

### 1994

1994 saw the team make bold moves right from the outset - signing double Manufacturer Drivers' Champion Lorenzo Turri and Kris Simton, who had shown significant promise the previous year with Toyota. Pre-season testing showed that the 155 was the car to beat, with the controversial aero kit giving Alfa Romeo more speed in the corners than their rivals. Several manufacturers protested the cars before the first round, but these protests were all rejected and the 155 was allowed to race "as-is" - given that the Super Touring regulations permitted the use of aerodynamic devices provided they were fitted to a limited number of road cars. Many manufacturers had used this rule to their advantage in the past, and whilst a particularly egregious example, Alfa Romeo's interpretation of this rule was deemed legal.

Come the first round of the 1994 season, several manufacturers such as BMW and Renault had responded to the "aero war" by releasing limited edition versions of their cars, and were therefore sporting their own, improved aerodynamic aids from the homologation specials. These late developments were not enough to stop Alfa Romeo, with reigning champion Turri taking 4 wins from the opening 6 races, and Simton recording four consecutive fourth places from races 2 through 5. Alfa Romeo completely dominated the season with Turri taking every single pole position on offer and winning 17 races out of 26 - and did not finish off the podium bar 2 races - one retirement and one 5th place. Simton may not have achieved the same level of success as Turri but he was instrumental in Alfa Romeo's 1994 successes and even took a podium finish during the season.

**Super Production Register**
 **BTC-Touring Register**
 **Super 2000 Register**
 **Next Generation Register**
TOCA introduced the ‘Next Generation Touring Car’ into the BTCC in another attempt to reduce ever spiraling costs imposed by the manufacturers of the Super 2000 class. Regulations are based around 2.0-litre turbocharged 4 or 5 door cars with the engine coming from either the same ‘family’ as the model of car or with the option of running a generic ‘unbranded’ engine sanctioned by TOCA. A series of common components that included gearbox, suspension, brakes, front and rear sub frames, turbo, electronics, ECU and fuel system are all TOCA-sourced items. This gave scope for as many as 14 different models to be built, many by teams that would have not done so in the past. The success of this category can be gauged by the fact that it continues to field a full grid of 32 cars with close racing.

**Miguel Rocha** (born 23rd June 1968) is a Portuguese racing driver currently racing in the British Touring Car Championship for Vauxhall Sport. He has previously driven for ProMotor Sport.

## Touring Cars

### British Touring Car Championship

After a few years in the Campeonato Nacional de Velocidade, Rocha gathered enough money and went off to the UK in 1996 to try his luck in the BTCC ladder. A decent season in the Ford Fiesta Challenge in 1996 was followed by a title charge in 1997 that ended when he was called to drive the old but reliable ProMotor Sport Vauxhall Cavalier in the final rounds of the 1997 British Touring Car Championship. The portuguese driver put up enough solid performances in the aging vehicle to score points in every outing, culminating in a second place finish and his first independents victory in the final race of the season, held at the Silverstone International Circuit. He finished 18th in the standings.

His performances were consistent enough that Vauxhall saw potential in him and, in an attempt for GM to expand its market into Iberia, signed him for the 1998 British Touring Car Championship as a works driver.

Brands Hatch

## Circuit

Brands Hatch offers two layout configurations. The shorter "Indy Circuit" layout (1.198 miles) is located entirely within a natural amphitheatre offering spectators views of almost all of the shorter configuration from wherever they watch. The longer "Grand Prix" layout (2.433 miles) played host to Formula One racing, including events such as Jo Siffert's duel with Chris Amon in 1968 and future World Champion Nigel Mansell's first win in 1985. Noise restrictions and the proximity of the Grand Prix loop to local residents mean that the number of race meetings held on the extended circuit are limited to just a few per year (usually for higher-profile series such as the BTCC and the BSB).
