Hairpin end of back straight

Hell I marshalled there pretty often in the late 60s and never noticed the houses etc

[Jeff]

Yep , that's the road running past the racetrack at the hairpin and the small bridge ( yellow sign ) towards Buckland in the background. Steve Millen (and others) know this stream intimately
There has always been hedges / undergrowth there over the years but they must have lowered the level of the hedges this particular year....
As Rod pointed out , the other photo is on the approach to the hairpin ( railway light / signal in the background

84 GP Ken had Apple Car Co. as sponsor/entrant

[Rod Grimwood]

From 84 Programme, this page easier to download than GP page but same grid.

[seaqnmac27]

Yep you are right, it'd be January 87, the Jones car is the one that lost the wheel at the hairpin in Wellington.

[Horizon]

Intersting to note is that Riley Hopkins still owns the same ralt. Has not run in a few years !

[jamie]

Hi gang. No seaqnmac27 the car that lost the wheel in Wellington was A SWIFT with BDA Jamie A

[Michael Clark]

I think the Chevron that Haskett is shown as driving was the ex Lawrence B49

Driven by Charlie Thomasen from time to time, and later owned by Charlie / Barry Thomasen?

[Barry]

The B49 is being rebuilt by us at the moment for next season, has anyone got any photos of car in Rothmans colours from when Graeme Lawrence ran it in Malaysia. Barry Leitch.

[Michael Clark]

Barry - do you have an email address for GHL? If not, let me know.
