I took this photograph at Redgate corner during a practice session for the Thoroughbred Grand Prix Championship race at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2006.
It's Spanish driver Joaquin Folch in his 1981 Brabham BT49C, chassis #BT49/10, an improved version of the original BT49 of 1979. The car was powered by the 2,993cc V8 Cosworth DFV engine and was driven in the 1981 season by Nelson Piquet and Héctor Rebaque. Nelson Piquet won the Drivers' World Championship that year, finishing first in three races, second in one and third in another three. With three other minor points scoring places that was enough to win him the World Championship by one point from Carlos Reutemann. Héctor Rebaque finished in tenth place with his best efforts being three fourth-place finishes.
