Footage of two of the three race meeting organised by the Eastern Counties Motor Club at Fersfield near Diss is now available to view on YouTube    www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gjGql7R6vs

 

It opens with the race meeting of 22^nd April 1951 which is significant as it was Archie Scott Brown's first race (up to then he only sprinted) and he is clearly shown in car 14. The second half has probably the earliest footage of a road going Ferrari racing in the UK.

 

Also available is the clubs Sprint at R.A.F Bentwaters the previous year, to view go to..
