This photograph was taken at McLean's Corner during the 1950s Drum-Braked Sports Racing Cars race at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005.
It's David Cottingham's 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC, chassis #682MDTR which is powered by a 1,984cc twin overhead camshaft 4-cylinder inline engine derived from the one used in the Formula 2 cars of 1952/53. The Ferrari 500 TR of 1956 was the first Ferrari to be labelled 'Testa Rossa', which refers to the red colour of the two camshaft covers, and the 500 TRC was the customer version of that car. Following the Ferrari is the 1959 Elva Mk 5 of David Brock-Jest and further back is Albert Otten's 1952 Allard J2.
I've shown photographs of David Cottingham's car previously, most recently on 1 September 2017.
