Beautifull 250 SWB raced the 6 Hours and came in 50th.


Epic run for the Wills & Harley GT40 . . . shame it had to retire coming from P1 after 5 hours and 45 mins.


Winners: Voyazides & Hadfield

I have a request... has anyone got pics from last year?
My Dad was racing the red/white stripes Élan, in the 6 hours. Broke a driveshaft 1.5 hours in. Previously broke the diff the year before. Who said Lotus were unreliable wink. It was epic to watch, though and it's a shame he's not doing it this year, but also a relief after watching all the accidents over these last few years...

Juha, tatounet and e40 on 10/10ths all take great photos as well as Dinks. Also have you tried Gilles Bouvier at gbphotosports.com? Find the event and you can find the car using your dad's race number.

Great pictures Dinkel, his Facebook page is well worth a look too.

Any chance of a link to your photobucket as well?

(I too must make it to Spa one year)

Chris Harris in the Giulia at the U2TC race as shot by my mate Joop van Brummelen:

Great meeting you Monkey. Superb driving both in the Alfa and in the big Falcon.

Many thanks

I bet that Vette must have been an awesome noise flying past your ear at point blank range.
