But what's been bugging me for some time: in what race? The track looks like Goodwood but there doesn't seem to have been a British F Libre race at Goodwood with a No.3 entry for JMF. Or was there?
Any help is appreciated.
Where and when?

Here's a picture of Fangio racing a BRM Type 15 in its most extreme form, probably sometime during 1953, when the car had long since become ineligible for World Championship Grand Prix racing.

Doug Nye has a similar picture on page 188 of his BRM book. JMF looks as if he is really enjoying himself....;)

It wouldn't be surprising.. The Libre cars were 5 secs a lap faster than the Grand Prix.

Right, that's solved then! Thanks, Roger...
So here's an amendment to Tony's rules of motor racing research. Rule number zero: ask TNF first!;)
