Parting Shot

August 26, 1973

Mallory Park, UK

The Mallory paddock looks little different today – save for the absence of Formula 1 transporters. François Cevert was present to demonstrate a Tyrrell 006, part of a Ford Sport Day race meeting that also included the ninth round of the BRSCC/MCD Lombard North Central F3 Championship. The F3 cars of Val Musetti (Royale RP11, #10) and Richard Robarts (March 733, #18) are prominent.

You were there

Remember when the F1 pits and paddock were more easily accessible to the public? That was the case for John Pearse at Silverstone in 1985
