Some Famous People called Ian Curley
Ian Curley

He stepped up to the BTCC the next year with a drive in a Lexus IS200 for the HPI Racing with Friends Reunited team. The car was uncompetitive and well off the pace of the front running teams. He only had the funding for selected races through the season and finished down in seventeenth in a field of just eighteen drivers with three points.
