Thruxton 30.3.70
The sun has disappeared for the start of the Group 4 sports car race as the field pour through the Campbell/Cobb/Seagrave complex on lap 1. Moretti's Ferrari 512 is out of shot, but on the far left is Seppi Siffert in David Piper's Porsche 917K followed by Brian Redman's fleet red Chevron B16 (Moretti crashed at this very spot on lap 2 under pressure from Seppi). There then comes a gaggle of Chevron B8s and B16s, a Porsche 908 Spyder with Jo Bonnier's Lola T70 Mk 3B on the right of the picture. The Bongrip car looked a little strange with new blue rear bodywork as the securing pins had come undone in practice and the bodywork had flown off, fortunately without damage to the car, only itself.
