It would be super cool if they run all the Shadows through the course in chronological order.

Cool to see Berger out there.

Glen English comes up to Ed Foster's elbow.

Great race in the opening Parnell Cup. If that was indicative, we're in for a great day's racing.

The chairs look fantastic at Goodwood. I'm sure the introduction of this sidecar shootout has done sidecar racing the power of good. i imagine many have vever seen them at speed. Ben Birchall's time in the Q section was colossal because a TT outfit, in all theory, should be a couple of seconds off the GP outfit. For those that don't know, the TT outfit is considerably shorter and the motor is under the rider's chest. The GP outfit, whilst also running the 600 in line four, it is behind the rider.

Some pics:

 

 

^ had to cheat to get the Shadow Mk 1 prototype in full

 

 

^ not the Pink Pig

 

 

^ not the Pipettes

 

 

^ personalized plates work best when they go with the vehicle.  Like 246D on a 246 Dino

 

 

^ "Someone get a message through to Captain Snort, that he'd better start assembling the boys from the fort..."

 

 

^ not the Tyrrell shed

 

 

^ but this is

 

 

^ Can Am peekaboo

 

 

^ sidecar world champs

 

 

^ how much better F1 would be if any driver who had stalled had to hop out and crank it back up again

ensign14, those are excellent, unique shots. I suspect you have a billion of them.

 

Its very cool seeing the champion sidecar there. I could not quite figure out the pic before reading the caption.

 

Regarding the Shadow Mk1, at the Amelia Island concours a few years ago, they had all the Shadow cars displayed in a group. It was weird and wonderful. And powerful.

 

Enjoy!

The Canam showcase was amazing! Probably the highlight of the day for me.

More Shadows...

 

 

^ Tom Kristensen at head - because...

 

 

^ ...Jackie Oliver had already sprinted ahead.  Once a racer...

 

 

^ David Brabham was happy to say hi though

 

 

^ Adding lightness?

 

 

^ more power than grip

 

 

^ Edwardian giants - the S76 is always a crowd favourite

 

 

^ Chris Goodwin's red helmet makes him look a bit like Lauda

Thank you ensign14 for all of these photos, fantastic...!

[ensign14]

Couple of bits of Lotus unobtainium...

 

 

^ Lotus 12/353 - the chassis Graham Hill raced at Monaco in 1958.  It's up for sale there next month.  Estimate is c. £300k.  I reckon it's worth a lot more...

 

 

^ ...and the road not travelled; the Lotus 66 Can-Am car, which was, well, never built.  Classic TL knocked it up based on the designs by Geoff Ferris.  They will make 10.  Put your order in now.

If only we could hear Graham's opinion on what it's worth...

They've at least found the wheel.
