I took this photograph at Britten's chicane during the Hawthorn Memorial & Hawthorn Spanish Trophies Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006.
It's Hubert Fabri in his Aston Martin DBR4, a car that was first built and tested in 1957 although it didn't make its Grand Prix debut until 1959. By that time the new generation of rear-engined cars had made the older front-engined cars uncompetitive and the best results it managed were Roy Salvadori's sixth place finishes in the British and Portuguese Grands Prix in 1959. Originally powered by a 6-cylinder inline 2,493cc engine, Hubert Fabri's car had the same 6-cylinder inline 2,992cc engine as the DB3S sports car.
