Bexhill on Sea, this closed track was basicly a time trial up and down the sea front,a huge event for those days' ,thousends of people came to watch this novelty.
Can't imagine that now,bexhill is full of pensioners and the traffic is anoyingly slow,
must be the same folks as all those years ago!

Well,everybody is aware of Mclaren being punished and shamed,no surprise really,with legal matters Ferrari comes out on top every time,thanks to the FIA wich stands for Ferrari Illigal Assistance....two employees of two teams have been messing about,so two teams should have been punished...if proved quilty....anyway,people and technical information has been passed between teams since racing started...

Monza !

221

acrylic on paper 8x12"sold


I love Monza,it is fast! the history and parkland setting oozes atmosphere,not to mention the mad Tifosi.
This ,despite the race usually ending up a procession,after the introduction of the chicanes in the 70's,
I'm sure Alonso will agree,after last Sunday's impeccable race.nobody had a change to catch the Spaniard

John Surtees Lola T60,acrylic on paper 8x11" sold

fancied something a bit different today,and what is there not to like about this gorgious cherry red Surtees CanAm Lola?

Nostalgia...when i was a kid in the 70's, and just started to get fascinated by F1,
i got a little Surtees TS7 toycar...
In the 90's,when i was busy building models for teams and drivers,i found it again in the modelshop at Brands Hatch.Later that day i met Big John,he liked my work and wanted me to build all the cars he ran....Wow!
