I photographed this car approaching Waterway corner at Aintree during practice for the British Grand Prix in July 1962.
It's Jo Bonnier in the 1962 Porsche 804 in which he qualified in 7th place on the grid, but retired after 27 laps of the race with gearbox problems. The Porsche 804 had a 1,494cc flat-8 engine and only competed in the 1962 season winning one race, the French Grand Prix, driven by Jo Bonnier's team mate Dan Gurney who qualified in 6th place on the grid at Aintree and finished the race in 9th place.
