The races at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in June 1982 were run on the short circuit omitting the loop from Cascades to Knickerbrook, and I took this photograph on the exit from Foster's corner, just before Knickerbrook.
It's the Hon. Amschel Rothschild in his 1954 Maserati 250F, the
ex-Gilby Engineering Company car with the replacement chassis 2507/2 given to
the car after an accident at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in 1954. It
was campaigned by Roy Salvadori for the Gilby Company during 1954, 1956 and
1957. The Maserati 250F was produced by Maserati from 1954 to 1957 with a
6-cylinder inline 2,490cc engine and raced throughout the 2½ litre Formula 1
years from the first race in 1954 to the last race in 1960.
