I'm trying to identify this pic from Thef1.com GP game:
I suppose it's Denny's M23, but have no evidence to prove it...
Maybe someone has a photo of him from bloody Glen'73?
Thanks,
Marko

The car could be either Denny's #7 or Peter Revson's #8 Mclaren.

Well done, Warren!
And wasn't Scheckter in a Yardley M23 too...?

Yes, he was, but the only photo I found of him that I took that weekend was this...Originally posted by Twin Window
And wasn't Scheckter in a Yardley M23 too...?
Which makes me wonder about the stories about Jody and Denny...Papa Bear and Baby Bear? Do you remember them being called that?

Over here in Blighty, they were more commonly known as 'The Bear' and 'Fletcher' (although I do remember 'Little Bear' used on occasion!)Originally posted by WGD706

Thank you WGD706 ! Great photos !
So it is Denny! And the evidence I've thought about but couldn't state it for sure without seeing Warren's photos is "Goodyear" inscription on the sides of rear wing of McLaren M23/2 (Jody Scheckter's car at 1973 USGP) and McLaren M23/4 (Peter Reveson's car there) and its absence on rear wing of McLaren M23/1 -- Denny Hulme's car there.
There was only one more case of appearing of McLaren M23 during 1973 season without Goodyear sticker on rear wing that I know about -- during practice at Monaco. And that car was also driven by Hulme. And, maybe, we could see the same at Mosport'73 but I don't have Hulme's photo from that Canadian Grand Prix...
So thank you again!
