Last of the groups - for now.
First pic is 2007.

Probably not too relevant to this message board but a classic case of the safety having to overrule everything else but doesn't give many rich pickings for amateur photographers.

A few whoopsies... or a great attitude. Due to one of the ways I store the files, these are the Brit cars.

I'm no engineer, but maybe some attention to springs and sway bar required here!

Is that a Jensen CV8?

Yes, probably John Jamieson.

Picture title tells the date (where known) - in this case, 166 = 1966 _0529 is 29th May. I use the same protocol for all my pics Steve. From memory - Sutcliffe, but I'll check. I agree. Lovely looking car.
Yup, P. Sutcliffe running #12, Richard Bond driving Nick Cussons GT 40 ran #14 and J. Cuthbert's car driven by E. Liddell ran #15.
Yes, 3 genuine GT40s out of a grid of 17 cars with 2 non-starters. Pretty impressive - especially for the 1.35 mile Mallory track.
I have posted pics before from this meeting, with Denny Hulme running Syd Taylor's Lola. Two Lotus 30's also entered but one non-starter and car #17 in the pic is Sutton driving the Attila-Chevrolet.
David Piper ran the famous green Ferrari 250LM.

Sorry Jaydee, couldn't resist it! Such a rare occurrence...
Same spin
I may have posted this before, so apologies if this isn't new. One of the unluckiest drivers, persevering with a car that isn't easy to maintain in race trim, but adds welcome variety. Back on track tomorrow.

Richard McCarthy (Jnr) handed the Peugeot over to brother Paul for the day, but there wasn't much difference in lap times.
Good to Geoff Sparkes back with 4 wheels on his wagon. I tried some different camera settings for the day. Some worked, some didn't.
But these three went so well, they got themselves promoted to Arrow Wheels, the faster group, for the rest of the season! Paul Madeley is well advanced with his stunning Porsche 944 Turbo, but it probably won't be ready for the Porsche Festival in January..
Phil Joseph's Rover Tomcat has been getting better and better, lapping just under 1:20 for his best lap of the day. A fair bit of understeer...

Not long after this, Darron lost all his brake fluid and ended up in the gravel trap at the first hairpin.
Bert's car now on the 15" wheels and looking all the better for it.
Out of sequence, as it is from the other camera. We'll soon have far more V8 Capris than were ever on the road in period! Rob Berrgren missed out on Neil Tolich's car but has acquired another Perana replica that we have seen before.

As you may have gathered from the above, I've moved on from the Brit car pics and now dipping into the other countries by make.

No excuse for showing Howard twice. A good pic is a good pic and happy to share. Not much point in taking pics if no one ever sees them.
