That looks like George Whitehead in the WRA Anglia, and having raced against quite a few times back in the 60s, that would not have been usual. All I can think is that he was thrown off by the antics of the Mini driver, because back then some of the really fast guys could get their Minis in all sorts of attitudes whilst cornering, and if you were following fairly closely you could often find yourself facing the sides of their cars, which would be most off-putting, to say the least!
George was a very good driver, and fast too, as well as being an excellent motor engineer. Over the years, I and other competitors bought quite a bit of stuff from at his engineering shop down the road from Stanmore, Middx.
