I was surprised this morning by an unexpected postal delivery, some old photos from Don Rawson.

Black car, Kevin Martin driving, Lydden Hill, early 1980's

   

   

   

OY, Donnington mid 1980's?
   

OY, 6 hour relay race Silverstone mid 1980's

Going by the height of me I'm guessing the last one is late 80s at least.

The F prefix on the registration of the red Astra would mean at least 1988 I think

What great photos, thanks for posting them. It's nice to see your box saloon and the 'Keil Kraft' car again. The third photo looks to have been taken coming out of Paddock Bend. that wide line was especially brave back then when the 'run off' area at the outside of the bend was almost non existent and it ended with the railway sleeper retaining wall.

Interesting to note some Drivers wearing woollen jumpers as fire protection, times certainly change.
