1970s Formula 3 Racing

The Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004 included the HSCC Classic Formula 3 Series race for Formula 3 cars built and raced between 1 January 1971 and 31 Decenber 1980. The engines the cars were allowed to use in this Series were the 1.6 litre Lotus Twin Cam or the 2 litre Toyota units.
I took this photograph during the race at Luffield corner, and leading here is Richard Trott in his 1978 2 litre Ralt RT1 followed by Ian Smith in a 1979 2 litre Argo JM6 and Steve Maxted in another Argo JM6, this one a 1980 model. Behind them and still to round Priory corner is Tom Thornton in a 1974 2 litre March 743.
