Or as we used to say; "Put your Thierry Boots on". He had a son he named Kevin, because he thought it was a good European name.

RB, it seems as though if the picture does not include Lewisham 'ilton, you are pretty much wasting you time. Too many young kids on the site to expect any answers.

Mind you Chaps, even I got it wrong first time, how amazing is that?

My guess is that the picture was taken at Silverstone, probably in the early fifties, and at a fairly big event. It looks wet which might also be a clue I suppose, I also suspect that none of the drivers are English, and possibly includes a World Champion driver or even two.

On the other hand I might be completely on the wrong track (pun).

Well we'd have a good go at the 70s and 80s, but as any historian will tell you "this ain't my period".

And you can't criticise us for being young

Well, young man, if you showed me a picture of four of the current F1 drivers I would be in the same position; Period wise that is.

Although if it was in black and white I might have a chance.

Not wishing to usurp EB but the picture was taken at Silverstone in 1951, at the Daily Express International Trophy Meeting. The drivers are left to right as viewed, Sanesi, Farina, Bonetto, and Fangio. The next figure is Nello Ugolini, the Alfa Romeo Team manager. Reg Parnell driving a Ferrari won the race, which was stopped after six laps because the track was flooded by a massive rainfall.










Thanks Bob !
