This seems to suggest all three raced but unfortunately the video is no longer available so we can't see what cars

 

Carl, Greg, and Keith race each... - Emerson, Lake & Palmer | Facebook

My wife is certain that our man is Carl Palmer, so it must be him :)

It is definitely not Greg Lake.  Reckon it is Keith Emerson.

 

I was only joking, of course. Put me in the Carl Palmer camp, though.

I agree it's Palmer.

 

Just to help out - here's Emerson in the #3 Blue/White car and Lake in the #1 Blue/Yellow one.

Shudder -  I am getting flashbacks to the interminable Brain Salad Surgery. No, me neither . ELP - the one prog band who will never be rehabilitated .

Masami Kuwashima told me he became friends with the ELP boys through their peripheral interest in motor racing (I think he met them at Brands Hatch when he was racing in F3) and they used to meet up to eat sushi at one of the few Japanese restaurants in London which served it in the early Seventies. It was in Grosvenor Square. 

 

He hooked up with them in Japan when they were on tour there too. Knowing Kuwashima san - quite the playboy - I'm sure he showed them a good time. :drunk:
