Friday's Ferrari

I took this photograph at the Knickerbrook chicane during the Aston Martin GT Challenge race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2017.

It's a 2009 Ferrari F430 Challenge and was driven in the 50 minute long race by Richard Cook and Harvey Stanley. The Ferrari F430 Challenge, which has a 4,308cc V8 engine, replaced the 360 Challenge and was produced from 2007 to 2010, being succeeded by the 458 Challenge.

Here's the car at Old Hall Corner during the early morning qualifying session.

During the race I walked to several different parts of the circuit, and this photograph was taken at Druids Corner.....

.....and here just about to enter Knickerbrook corner.

Triumph TR4 and TR4A

I took the photographs of these two cars at the Aston Martin Owners Club meeting at Oulton Park in May 2015 where they both took part in the Equipe GTS race.

This is the 1962 Triumph TR4 of Nick Mountford

This is the 1967 Triumph TR4A of Richard McKoen

The Triumph TR4 was introduced in 1961 as a replacement for the Triumph TR3 with a body designed by Giovanni Michelotti that was the first major body change for Triumph since the TR2 was introduced in 1953, although the TR4's chassis was based on that of the earlier TR cars. The TR4 was replaced by the TR4A in 1965 and that car continued in production until 1967. Outwardly almost identical, the major difference in the two cars was the TR4A's independent rear suspension. Both cars had the 4-cylinder inline Standard Vanguard engine that had been fitted to the TR2 and TR3, with the capacity increased from 1,991cc to 2,138cc.

This is Nick Mountford in the TR4 at Old Hall Corner during the morning qualifying session for the race.....

.....and here is Richard McKoen during the same qualifying session, followed by the 1963 MGB of Graham Bates and the 1964 MGB of Harvey Stanley.
