I never realised that Booysen had a go in F5000, and I also don't remember the colour scheme of Domingo's car. How the memory fades.........

I think Booysen used the ex-Boet Pelser car in 1975. Booysen was entrant/driver in the Mclaren M10B.

If you do a search on David Pearsons www.motoprint.co.za website and look up images MP012133 and MP012127 respectively, you'll find some nice pics of Mike Domingo in the same car. Worth a look.
