Some fabulous Snetterton F5000 memories from photographer Mike Dixon. Note his copyright. You can send me an e-mail to info@andrewkitson.com if anyone is interested in purchasing copies of his work. I can put you in touch. Ted Walker at Ferret owns a lot of Mike’s work too and may also have pictures from these meetings.
Good Friday 9th April 1971
Ray Allen in the Pink Stamps M10B
Trevor Taylor in the Malaya Garages Leda exits the fearsome and dangerous Russell Bend. But what a bend….put it back!
Brian Redman in Sid Taylor’s M18
Rob Taylor in the Kitchmac at Russell.
Now we move to August 30th 1971. A race in two heats won by Graham McRae after Gardner and Redman took each other off.
Brian Redman..fully committed to the second part of the Esses, known as the ‘Bombhole’ today.
As is Mike Hailwood in the works TS8.
Another TS8. Alan Rollinson in the McKechnie car.
Gordon Spice, M10B
Teddy Pilette in the Team VDS M10B
Redman leads Gardner and McRae through the Esses.
Redman & Gardner. Two of the greats of Formula 5000.
Gardner leads McRae into the Esses
…and out of the Esses
Then it happened..Gardner & Redman tripped each other up at the end of the Home Straight. Both unhurt.
Meanwhile Terry Sanger battles with the Harrier, Dave Berry’s BT16/21 Rover behind.
Tony Trimmer TS5A ahead of Spice
Mike Walker in Doug Hardwick’s Lola ahead of Hawtin’s Cooper.

Gardner's Lola looks a mess. It looks as though he was lucky not to inherit the Lola "limp"

I also popped these onto the F5000 thread..but as they are Snetterton, belong here too.

Absolutely wonderful - thanks Andy, thanks Mike. You have made my weekend. I have been away a lot recently and plan to have a rest. This will help enormously!
A quick question if I may: the Redman / Gardner crash - who took the pictures that appeared in Autosport at the time? Was that you, Mike?
And, finally, photographic evidence - other than those shots previously seen from Hockenheim - that the Hawtin Cooper did run with front wings and a slimmer nosecone before its final race.

Mirage in NZ last seen in Gulf colours.
The nose on the McRae McLaren looks very GM1ish - anyone able to confirm?

That's my question as well.Is there no end to this fabulous stuff Andy?
Absolutely incredible, the grandest of days' and beautifully captured. I sense I'm not alone in wishing nothing had changed since.
All of us who did see it... we're lucky, Ladies and Gents.

Mike Beuttler?
The guy in overalls looks a lot like J-P Jaussaud.
