His name is Todd Smathers and I suspect he might be as tall as all three combined...
I thought it was John Goodman...and I think he's tall too.
What lap times was Marvin doing in the Brabham?

What price the logistics being arranged to ship in some of the American cars to Europe for a few invitation meetings ? The guys from New Zealand did it in 2011 for the F5000 meetings through the summer and that was awesome !!! 30 plus cars for the grids and really great racing to boot !! Can just see it now.....30 plus F1 cars from the Cosworth/Matra/Ferrari era doing battle at places like Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Thruxton (YES!!) and Donington Park .

I've just had a more detailed look at my snaps and originally captioned a few of them incorrectly. That's John Goodman in the first shot, the B2 with added helicopter, and Smathers is leading the gaggle in the B. Both, of course, were running as car #4, as did several others (not least Craig Bennett, whose Tyrrell P34 also features here)...You were right from the beginning, Simon. Smathers drove the B, and Goodman the B2.

Hello (I felt "Hi" might not be appropriate under the circumstances) Todd,I'm the tall chap sticking up out of the 312B.
May I ask, respectfully, and strictly in the interests of historical motor racing research, how tall you actually are?
Best regards
Richard, 5' 7"

According to the link in post 6 Marvin covered the 10 laps in 21 min 14.34 sec. This would make his average lap time around 2 min 7.4 sec.
I understand that this may have been the swansong for this series, most definitely for any COTA next year........
