I would have thought that's at Silverstone, or even Aintree, but I'm not sufficiently familiar with trackside stuff in those places to be sure at all.

The stand doesn't look right for Rouen , I suppose it could be Le Mans Bugatti though I think Carlos is right and it is Reims

Obviously in France, again I'm not sufficiently familiar with grandstands to be able to guess. Those roof supports, however, don't look like what I remember of the Le Mans stands.

Is that definitely Jim Clark?..he looks a lil uncomfortable in the car, why the odd helmet and frankly, he looks a lil too "pretty' in a film/televison way..

Possibly even earlier, Roger? A while ago, Dennis Hockenbury posted this beautiful Jesse Alexander picture from Spa 1962.Originally posted by Roger Clark
It must be an early photo, see the two-lens goggles. Also the wind screen is too high for the later cars. He didn't race a Lotus at Le Mans in those days. My guess would be Pau in '62. The car look to have the slightly more bulky bodywork of the 24.
Note the different goggles. I've also found a picture from Monaco 1962, where the goggles match the Alexander picture and the overalls match Carlos' picture.

Case closed!

Surely a young Jabby Crombac (the man wearing thick-framed glasses).

Mr. Measures, I presume. Gerry identified the folks in this photo for Tom Johnston and me a while back. I just thought it would be fun to see if anyone else could identify them. I think Loti came closest. Here is a front view of Marie Versini, this time with Jim Clark, Monaco, 1962:
So could Pedro 917's photo from the Dutch magazine have something to do with the filming of "The Young Racers", which was filmed in 1962 and released in 1963?

The lettering on the helmet suggests a french TV company: Canal something, can't make it out.
It says " Journal Télévisé" which means "TV news" .....the movie was probably shot for the then state-controlled "ORTF" for the 8 o'clock news .....

Can't seem to figure out how to "quote" Bruno in post 28, but please refer to post 23 for identities of actors, etc, from the movie "The Young Racers"...though having watched the movie, I'm not sure about the ladies in the photos. Marie Versini was Campbell's wife in the movie and I don't think she looks like the lady in the photos. And Luana Anders was blonde.
Vince H.
You're quite right Vince. I was mislead by what has turned out to be incorrect info in Corman's autobigraphy.
The girl with Clark is Beatrice Altariba, not Marie Versini.
The group photo is L to R Altariba, Corman, Campbell, Coppola and Versini.
