Practice day...
And who's in the Cooper in the background? I don't think it's Amon but it looks like Scuderia Veloce colours. That is, the car previously run by David McKay.
And his team mate, Tony Maggs...
Ray,
That would indeed be a very young Chris Amon driving David McKay's Cooper T 53.

Tony Shelly... Lotus...
Are there any pics of John Youl at this meeting?
Ken Miles at Lakeside in his 427 Cobra.
I would think this is the car that Ken drove at Lakeside but that visit is not mentioned in this detailed history of the “The Ken Miles Car”

Ken Miles at Riverside, California.
Looking at some photos I have from Lakeside, the car he drove there had much wider rear guards (fenders).
Dale.
Dale,
I also don't see the BRDC logos on the doors when Ken drove at Lakeside. Perhaps this was a loaner just for the one occasion because the one he drove at Riverside was a rocket in the day and seemed to handle better than the # 4 Cobra.

Bob Holden's Lynx started out with a smaller and unsupercharged Peugeot engine, by the time it was done it was a 404 engine with air pump... sold on to Colin Bond who made a name for himself in hillclimbs with it.
Among the touring cars Bob drove were: Peugeot 403, Peugeot 203, Repco-Holden FE ex-Stan Jones, Repco-Holden FJ, Minis by the bucketload, a couple of outings in an S4 Holden, alcon GT HOs, BMWs, Escort twin cams, 2-litre Escorts, Corollas, I'm sure there were others.
In addition he raced the Lolita sports cars.
You mean that it's 1966 and that Bruce Burr is back to camera beside Greg Cusack's Brabham twin-cam? And that it's at Warwick Farm before the start of the 1966 International 100?
Or is it that Jim's on pole and that Greg's on the outside of the second row, faster than all the Australian and New Zealand 2.5 drivers?
Or that Jim's driving suit now belongs to Max Stahl, but he hasn't seen it in over forty years because somebody stole it? Or that the mechanic in the coloured overalls (orange) is next to Jackie Stewart's car?
On the extreme right is Chris Snowden, brother of Nigel and himself a good photographer.
With the glasses semi-obscured by Jim is Peter Bakalor, the Autosport writer covering these races.
I don't know the BRM mechanic with Graham Hill here, but I can tell you this is another Warwick Farm grid pic from 1966.
And cordials...
Actually, they were better known for the cordials than the soft drinks. You can still get their cordials, but not soft drinks. There are also jelly crystals, jams etc.
Apparently it all started with 'Passiona', which was based on passionfruit, I wonder if that's what Graham is holding? Possibly that second line reads 'Sparkling Passiona'?
I wonder if anyone will come up with their jingle?
How's this?
