I took this photograph at the Old Hairpin during practice for the Group C/GTP Sports Car race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.
Its Richard Oddie in his 1991 Argo JM 20C which has a Chevrolet V8 engine, the capacity of which is not specified in the programme of the event. Argo Racing Cars Ltd was originally formed in East Anglia in 1976 by Jo Marquart, Nick Jordan and John Peterson as Anglia Cars, starting off by designing a Formula 3 car which they named an Argo, then going on to make Formula Atlantic and Formula Vee cars. The name of the company was changed to Argo Racing Cars Ltd because of the confusion caused by the company name being different from that of the cars they made. In 1983 the team concentrated their efforts on Indianapolis and Group C/GTP Sports Car racing, and the car pictured is one of the 100+ sports car chassis they constructed.
