Thanks for posting these pictures Dinkel.

[dinkel]

Baby Bertha up for a run.
Here's more on the car, on PH: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=102...


Beighton Team Tiger Lola T70 Mk3B


Belgium Lola coasting through La Source.


Voyazides / Hadfield number one - but not so lucky and they ended at the end of the field.

Next: more Sports Cars.

[dinkel]

Oh no, it's a 2 litre in the same race:

Angry FHA is a close match to the V8 Lolas.


Up close and personal.


One of the best 60s / 70s sports car shapes in my eye.


I can tell you I don't fit very well.

Next: historic 60s / 70s / early 80s F1.

[dinkel]

Late 70s / early 80s DFV powered F1 look so good.


Back in the day Clay was a poster on my wall.


Classic JPS livery.


More old skool smoking: Gitanes was my brand when it was still allowed.


I'm not an expert on early 60s F1 but how fragile does this Lotus look?


Soundpr oof! Two litre four screamer.

Next: Porsche and night shots.

[dinkel]

Porsche passing by close.


Not all 911s shave the La Source wall.


Look at the front wheels.


Twilight zone shot: passing by at 200 kmh.


Down hill to aim for a blistering Eau Rouge attack.

Next: details.

[dinkel]

Details:

GT40 eye.


Something's missing.


Typical pit box scene.

Talbot Lago yum:

Wow.


Cast lettering porn.


See through panels.

Next: early 50s Ferrari and Maserati... automotive nirvana.

[dinkel]

Ferrari monoposto magic.


That must be the Jano V6, later enlarged and used in the Fiat Dino and Dino 246.


Imagine sitting there, fondling the stick and keeping the 6 on the boil with your right feet while waiting to rip the skies with a burst of raw decibels in a hot lap around Spa.


Resting.


The 30s to early 60s racing cars (not sports cars) are the best, they really are. Originallity in design and approach made unique characters to love and enjoy. I can only hope they will be enjoyed and campaigned at future events.

Next: 1950s Maserati entries.

[dinkel]

Legendary badge which today has lost so much of its touch with heritage and legacy.


This is how heaven must look like.


Character. Rumble gives away epic 50s tech.


All one needs for a dream ride.

Next: more 50s monoposto.

[dinkel]

Maserati 250F heart.


The heart of the matter.


Plumbing.


Cooper nose job.

More: 50s monoposto in action.

[dinkel]

This is a 60s kit 4 pot screamer.


Loving these front engined gems.


Ready to roll.


Daredevils.


Bristol 6 pot Cooper.

More.

[dinkel]

Pure craftmenship: steering in these 50s gems.


It's getting dark.

[dinkel]

Notice the off-set drivers position.

[dinkel]

1954 Kurtis 500C with Offenhauser four monoblock.

[dinkel]

Maserati 250F

[dinkel]

The safe zone.

[dinkel]

Safety there is none. Fuel cells on wheels.

[dinkel]

I love this typical French light blue on the Talbot Lago T26C.

Maserati 250F resting.
