Alright when was that again.....?

[samcar304]

I know the driver, just trying to find the location.

Could it be Montjuic Spanish GP?

looks like vittorio brambilla in surtees (just from memory, i must have been about twelve at the time). you gotta love the chap on crutches in the back. whoever identifies him gets extra bonus

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

the number on the car has me stumped, though ...

 

[Sky]

at what point do you want a clue?

 

[rubaru]

I've got a guess
Tiff Needell, 1979 Mallory Park

Yay! Correct. I found the race on youtube the other week so i grabbed a still from it. From the british aurora f1 championship.

My clue was going to be 'he's got a wobbly head' lol

Anyone else think that looks like barry sheene on crutches in the background? Did he have broken legs that year?

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

lol, same helmet color as vittorio, that's what made me go in the wrong direction, nice one "sky".

btw, nice to have the thread back to life, my first post is from 5th February, 2009, almost 10 years

thanks, "eckhart".

This might be too easy, not sure how good you folks are at this. Driver's name and event.

 

[Sky]

Kevin cogan. Montreal 1980.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

Kevin Keegan? well, he tried singing, so why not try racing ... just joking

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

just figured why the shape of the car looks so well-known, it's the williams alan jones won the championship in, resold and reused. that guy cogan came in last in qualifying and did not race, the chap in second to lastw as his teammate Rupert Keegan. It's a small world.

Yep you got it. Thought the wet might stump a few since the race itself was dry.

 

[Sky]

i've painted a car in those colours before so i just recognised it.

i can't think of anything right now, how about someone else posts something?

 

[rubaru]

I can't seem to find anything that a simple Google image search doesn't solve.

 

[Sky]

ok then!:

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

scan from a book, clever!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

We should print this stuff on canvas. Love it.

did i make it too hard this time?
