Three weeks ago I featured a 1955 Lancia D50 recreation and showed a photograph of the car being driven in a demonstration at the 2005 SeeRed meeting at Donington Park by Kevin Wheatcroft. Here's another photograph from that demonstration run.
The car on the right is Kevin Wheatcroft again in the Lancia, but leading is his father, the late Tom Wheatcroft, the man who resurrected the Donington Park circuit in the 1970s and founded the Donington Grand Prix Collection museum. Tom is driving the museum's 1934 Maserati 8CM, chassis #3018, that was driven by Tazio Nuvolari in the 1934 racing season. The 8CM had a supercharged 2,991cc straight-8 engine but after some success in the 1933 season it was outclassed by the Alfa Romeo, Mercedes Benz and Auto Union cars in 1934.
