1968 Matra

Here's my version taken at the Donington Collection last month. Not quite the same atmosphere...

Back on Page 99 there was a photo of a driver with his feet up on the front wheel of a car later idetified as a Cooper-Maserati due to its 'inboard-outboard' front brake configuration.

Imagine my surprise when I looked at the Grand Prix Legends version, and found they'd got it absolutely right!





For an extra point, can anyone identify the circuit?

Monza?

[Evangelion]

Correct! Between Curva Grande and the first Lesmo.

When will they ever get around to updating that game and making it available on X-box or PlayStation?

Mad. Just mad.

A custom built high speed transporter powered by a 300SLR engine (although I think this might be a replica built for the hell of it/heritage purposes). The original intention was to allow the factory to deliver a car by road to European GP's should one the the originals hit problems in practice (as it was called then) in their early 50's Silver Arrows campaign.

I don't think it was actually used in anger, and in late 1955 the '55 Le Mans crash caused a cancellation of Mercedes race activities - although they really had nothing left to prove.

The transported languished and became something of a legend until its (or the replica's) appearance in recent times.

I note that both those drivers would kill for any kind of Mercedes drive this season...

It was a replica, the real ones was scrapped in the 60s

I've seen that one, with a (real or replica, i don't know) SLR racer on the back, at my local MB dealer

Not a fan of this era of car, but that's a great pic.

Lovely.

Targa Florio?

[Rouleur]

Correct. This one is too small really but sums up the Targa very nicely:

Thats brilliant. I'd love to get a big version of that. Do you know any more about it?
