Came across this story on the BBC site and thought it might be of interest - Amateur photographers capture golden age of motor racing

Anyone remember the six wheeled Tyrrell?

Or Divina Galica? Former downhill skier before trying her hand at motorsport.

Yes remember both of them and an attempt to use 4wd in F1 , it was only nearing competitive when they had 15% of power going to front wheels they reckoned, so was just extra weight , says a lot about audi quattro etc drivers does it not

Ditto.

The beautiful smell of Castrol R. ( unfortunately replaced by Putoline ) soul less oil

Oh yes, Castrol R. Even the wife likes that smell.


Thought..... Mmmmm, it's a lube isn't it.......

you can still get it , a tablespoon in any tank full of petrol will give ya that whiff, even the old boys with brit iron 4 strokes use it for the smell, even castor oil from the chemist does the job
