17 - German GP 1952:
on the outside of the 3rd row of the grid we see
#120 Tony Gaze / HWM
#112 Paul Frere / HWM
#121 Fritz Rieß / Veritas RS
behind #125 is Toni Ulmen / Veritas RS

#3 the car looks like the Cisitalia "upgrade" which appeared briefly as a works car during the 1948 season and then was bought by Swiss Claude Bernheim, which would also quite fit to the colour scheme. So my guess would be a hill climb in the (at least partly) French-speaking part of Switzerland, maybe Les Rangiers, La Sonnaz, Vue des Alpes, Le Sierre, Ollon-Villars...
Posted 25 December 2020 - 01:12
#18, #19, #20 all from the GP des Nations, Geneva in 1950
#18 - the Formula 2 race with No. 18 Trintignant / Gordini in front of No. 34 Macklin / HWM with seemingly a Cisitalia ("Robert" Klempener) far behind? The circuit consisted mainly on two lanes of road in opposite direction, separated by just a row of straw bales, as you can see in the foreground...
And #19 and #20 show the two class winners in the supporting sports car race: Class up to 1500cc: No. 6 Franz Hammernick / BMW-(Veritas) - No. 36 class over 1500cc: Willy Daetwyler, Alfa Romeo 4,5 litre.

#1 is definitely Coppice Farm at Donington Park before house on the right was removed to widen road. But I don't know when it was made.

That one had me tossed. But it sure looks like Doug and a lot like Albert Park.

#4 is obviously the Freiburg Schauinsland hillclimb (note the wirting "ADAC Bergrekord" on the building at the back). Further it must be after 1956, as the Porsche already carries one of the new license plates that had been introduced during that year. So the car in front would be verey likely of the Formula Junior category that blossomed up at the change of decade. A glance at https://www.formel3guide.com delivers two possible candidates, Herbert Russell on a "Gazelle Hansa" for 1960 and Philipp Meub / DKW Spezial for 1961. Further googling on http://www.pro-steil...rennen_1960.php gives a good collection of FJ cars at the 1960 Eifelrennen, and indeed our candidate does look very much like Russel´s "Gazelle", with the word "Hansa" pointing towards an engine from the Borgward/Hansa/Goliath group.
Thank you very much for all the pictures. This is really fun like in the old 8w days!
Merry Christmas to all!

I have no idea on any of these pictures but they are lovely stuff. Many thanks Doug, for posting them. Merry Christmas from the African sub-continent!
Seconded, although I did think that #2 was Donnington.
Have a lovely socially distanced Christmas, one and all, including keeping 2 metres apart under the mistletoe.
Posted 25 December 2020 - 12:39
The lovely images made my day. Especially those of Jean Behra, Harry Schell and Lance Macklin, not to mention Igor Bulb. Schoolboy heroes all.

Agree on no 4 being the Freiburg hillclimb, and it has to be 1960 or later, see the nose of a Lotus 18 poking out behind the Porsche. The car in front seems to have VW-based front and rear suspension, but the huge front rad points to a water-cooled engine. Formula 3 came in for the 1964 season, Formula junior preceding that but that formula allowed for 1100cc engines only, and surely the Borgward t/c engine was 1500cc?
Interesting stuff. Season's Greetings from a snowless Halden, Norway

That´s why I posted the link:
"The Goliath 1100 and later the Hansa 1100 is a small automobile that was manufactured from 1957 to 1961 by the Bremen based Goliath-Werke Borgward & Co, a subsidiary of Borgward."

#21 is the ex Moss Monzanapolis Maserati 420 M58 (?) as entered for Ralph Liguori at Indy in 1959.
As the Eldorado Italia Special. Eldorado was an ice cream company.

That almost looks like DSJ from the back, looking at some books?

No.24 - Autojumble at Brooklands.
Motormedia sign suggests Eoin Young.

Posted 27 December 2020 - 11:29
Mix of dead easy and really rather difficult... No 24 is indeed Eoin Young's Motormedia VW shop at a Brooklands Reunion meeting, possibly 1987? That's our friend Maurice Hamilton - great fella - attending, in the natty headgear, with DSJ conducting an inspection.
I'm surprised nobody has so far tackled the wheels, No 31...nor, indeed, that privately built racing car, No 29...
