One question I never asked… Sometimes bauble is on the picture. In this case, who is the photographer…

Don't worry I don't know the answer. But I do know the make and model of car in Picture 1

Just out of my curiosity who is the guy wearing a red shirt sponsored by a R Brown company?

Yes Gerard all my own work. The accident happened in 1996 and I was using a Zenith E with a 200 mm Zoom lens. I have recently learned the art of scanning so there should be plenty more photos from the eighties onwards. I have found some old albums with pictures taken by my brother in the seventies featuring Formula Two , Formula 5000 , Special Saloons etc and I will be scanning them soon as well.

Regarding the picture I am fairly sure that Martin walked away (remarkably) and five years later won the BARC Formula Renault championship. There was a discussion on this forum a year or two back about replacing racing harnesses after a shunt. This picture suggests it's a good idea....

I'd have thought our East Midlands correspondants, especially GrantP would have recognised circuit No. 4, but it is an unusual view of the "new" infield.

I'd put somebody else's money on that picture being taken from the exit of the Old Hairpin on the approach to Schwantz Curve, just after Starkey's Bridge. The top of the new banking in the infield give quite a view of large parts of the circuit.

I would think that could be it too. As you say the view on the inside lets you see plenty of the track, although I last was on the infield in 2008 so don’t know what the view from the new infield is like now. I assume it’s as good as before though?

So well done those who went for;
Cadwell Park
Silverstone
Goodwood
Snetterton*
Castle Combe
Brands Hatch

With assistance from Alfaholic.

[GCCheddaris]

That hill at Snetterton must be classified as a mountain in Norfolk !

[S griffin]

I don't think the hill is that big, but for a flat area it must be big

What am I talking about? SNETTERTON?

DONINGTON of course, my brain was self isolating from reality.

Sorry.

[rbs]

Back to pictures of old cars.

[bauble]

OK RB, let's get back to the primary purpose of this thread. For me to show off;

[bauble]

Smaller British sports cars, all well known;

[Gerard C]

Sorry but I got Donington right…*After a visit there and a nice talk with Andy.

[E.B]

Love the red Lagonda (or at least thats what I think it is) in #2643

[Gerard C]

Well known, well known c'est vite dit… And the first one is a?

[Gerard C]

If you want to know what "and a half" means in historic, just compare the Dolly seen in the #2644 with any other one pictured at GW. One is Grp1, the others are Grp1,5! And this time Bob is not your uncle!
