I took this photograph at Lodge Corner on the first lap of the RAC Tourist Trophy race at Oulton Park in May 1965.
Leading is John Surtees in the Team Surtees Lola-Chevrolet T70 followed by the McLaren Elva-Oldsmobile M1A of Bruce McLaren and the Lotus Ford 30 of Jim Clark. None of these cars finished the race - John Surtees dropped out after 13 laps, Bruce McLaren after 30 laps and Jim Clark managed 102 laps before retiring. Denny Hulme won the race in Sidney Taylor Racing's Brabham-Climax BT8, completing 138 laps in the 4 hour long race.
