Hi CFL7, glad you were able to make it, it is a great event. I look forward to seeing your pics, you were bound to have seen something I missed.
I too was there all day and didn't get to see it all. So much to take in.

Cheers

Thanks for posting all the photos, some very unique cars there.

I like that racer with the four front wheels - had a matchbox like that.

Didn't know there was one with four back wheels

Must have been a great day - Bar the rain!!

DC, the car with the four front wheels is a Tyrel like the one Jody Sheckter used to race with ELF sponsorship.
I don't know the make of the other car with the four rear wheels as there was nobody there to ask at the time and I hadn't seen one before. All four rear wheels were driven so it must have had amaising grip off the line.

Wait , I think it was the Silver Wolf and Black Hawk?

Correct: that is colour Silver SR5 with Black Hawk decals and Tiger Wheels/colour:Black SR5 with Gold Hawk decals and Tiger Wheels!

re- four wheel rear driven.....


March-Cosworth 761 2-4-0 Built 1976 3litre v8.

Robin Herd thought Tyrell got it wrong with four front wheels, so designed a 'bolt-on' four-wheel drive adaptation for the rear of the 761. It never raced, but Roy Lane applied the transmission to a 771 to win hillclimbs in 1979.

Thanks to the Programme for the info....

Thanks for that info CFL7, guess who was too stingy to buy their rather expensive program.

Don't blame you either!

I never buy or take programs at events, I like to explore and find things out in person.

Just a personal thing.....
