I took this photograph at Old Hall Corner
during the Friday practice for the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in May 1972.

It's Reine Wisell in the 1972 BRM P180, chassis number P180/02 who started
in seventh place on the grid but retired after a collision with Ronnie Peterson’s
March on the first lap of the race. The P180 was intended to be a replacement
for the P153 and P160 cars that had raced in the 1971 season, sharing the same
3 litre V12 engine. Only two cars were built but were so uncompetitive that
they were dropped at the end of the season, being replaced by updated versions
of the P160.
