6: Oil leak or shove? either way, Duncan Dayton's 1968 Brabham BRM BT8 did'nt come off very well either in the Willie Green incident. (Willie being the innocent) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Paul,
I'm still awake, it's 8.30am here. Didn't that yellow GT40 get smashed up at Goodwoog a couple of years ago(along with a few others)?

Agreed - no 9 really demonstrates the emotional appeal both of the Gt40 and vintage racing generally

Paul,

Exellent pics, maybe you should have slipped Roys number to Mr Green...he looks like he'll need it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Hi all -

Tim - GT40s.com at Breakfast! - superb & yes, it is the same car - as trouble usually comes in 3 - I wonder if he is there next year?

It was my first visit to the Revival and I was there for all three days - Just Awesome....

I have over 1000 digital memories of the event so once the next mag/AGM is clear - I might stick the better ones on a CD or DVD if anyone is interested.

Finally - the Bonhams Auction on Friday night saw some amazing sales - including lot 144 - a 7.1 Litre Supercharged Mercedes that made.... well look at the display below.

(ps - I was under instruction to keep Andrew's hands firmly in his pockets!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

Glad to see you are happy with Roy Smart's chassis repair Simon - Back on road soon I hope.

Paul really good pictures.But I am a bit confused with your captioning. David Pipers Ferrari is a late fifties early 60's Ferrari Tessarossa. And the Lotus looks like a ListerJaguar. I thought the quote about the Lotus 30 was for the Lotus 40. That, "it was the Lotus 30 with ten more mistakes". You must be tired I know I was. Though I did meet Bob Bordurant, Aga Pabst, Carol Shelby and the singer Chris Rea. Sorry to be such a smart alec. My thoughts are with the driver of the Lola in the Glover Trophy who crashed and had to be cut out. There are two lolas in the programe I think this car was Turquorsey Blue. I saw the Yellow GT40 crash with the Braham BT8. I am pleased that no one was hurt. Where did that Corvette Grand Sport appear from it was not named as such in the race program.
