I took this photograph on the start/finish straight at Aintree during practice for the 1962 British Grand Prix.
It's the UDT Laystall Racing Team's 1962 Lotus 24 driven by Masten Gregory and for this race it had the 4-cylinder inline 1,500cc Coventry Climax FPF engine, although for most of the races that year he drove it with a 1,498cc V8 BRM P56 engine. He qualified in fourteenth place on the grid and ended the race in seventh position, one lap behind the winner, Jim Clark in a Lotus 25. Masten Gregory didn't have a very successful season with the car, scoring a single point in the World Drivers' Championship with a sixth place in the USA Grand Prix.
