...From a different angle

I've heard a few people say when they first
saw the Brabham they couldn't believe how
small it is
-
They are quite small actually Dare, make a fantastic noise, wow :good:

-
They had a Hesketh Racing car going round and a Tom Pryce car too, unfortunately as soon as they were back in the pits the crew was taking them apart so no snaps I'm afraid :(

Looks to me seeing the historiic cars is better
than the racing

Looks like you enjoyed yourself, Neil :)

The Senna car is the 1984 Toleman. The car above it is a Brabham BT49. It took me ages to figure out the model because it has the wrong number on it. The BT49s ran with numbers 5 and 6 and it was a few years later that Brabhams raced with 7 and 8.
I found a brilliant French site when I was trying to identify the Brabham. It gives stacks on info on cars, tracks, teams, drivers etc.
-
Dare, historic f1 is really big here now, and I hope it continues. Yeah I had a great day Ali, will go again next year for sure.
Thanks for that info Steven. I'll have a look on my camera when it's re-charged, think I might have a couple more un-identified cars on there :good:
Cheers

That'll be a Bennetton 1992, probably Michael Schumacher's, and maybe even the same chassis Martin Brundle had a go in earlier this year.

The Samson car is a Shadow I think. Samson were involved in sponsorship in the late 70s/early 80s. Samson was (possibly still is) a dutch tobacco company and actually sponosored some cars with the legend 'Samson Shag'.
The elf car is a Tyrrell. It looks like the one before the P34 and there are some similarites wth the P34 although it has a different number of wheels.
The Courage car is a Lotus. When tobacco sponsorship was banned in some countries Lotus ran with Courage beers as the main sponsor in those countries but kept the JPS colours. That could be the twin chassis Lotus 88 or the single chassis version that followed it. The rear wing is very distinctive.
The Leyland car is a Williams from I think 1982. I have a feeling it has 37 on it because it was the third Williams entered for Jonathan Palmer in that year's British GP.
All of the above is straight off the top of my head so please feel free to rubbish it and correct it if I am talking nonsense.

Great pix, Neil! :good: Looks like you had a fine week-end.
-
A good time was had Cos and thanks for the info Steven.

The Parmalat car is a Brabham probably with a turbo BMW four banger. 1.5 liters, 1000 to 1200HP. Piquet won 2 WDC in cars like those.
