I recently posted some period Formula 5000 photos at Thruxton on Baubles Picture Parade and was surprised to see a Grandstand at the end of the start/finish straight back in 1974.
The structures back then were very much of a temporary nature, being made IIRC of scaffold poles and wooden planks and have long since been replaced by the two permanent stands at the Chicane. I am sure I can remember a stand at the Complex ( also long gone ) but the one on the start/finish straight which would have been in the line of the concrete runway I can't. Can anyone remember when it was taken down ?
