.@tiff_tv this came out of the attic the other day and I thought you might like to see it. Elfie knew no fear - check out his reflection on your helmet!
T'was a fun, if rather cold, day.
Marking the 48th anniversary of Niki Lauda’s remarkable comeback at Monza with an unashamed plug for my book ‘Both Sides of the Barrier’.
As a big fan of his from the time I first saw him race in ‘72, the book includes many photos I took of him on my humble Kodak Instamatic 📷
Thrilled and delighted that David Tremayne has seen fit to give my book 'Both Sides of the Barrier' such a fabulous review!
Herewith is the article, published in his excellent @grandprixplus ezine #383 and reproduced with his permission, which should be legible when expanded
Bizarre things you never thought would happen, part 81: finding myself at Shelsley Walsh looking at a book full of photos I took on the camera I’ve brought along to its first motorsport event since the 1977 British GP 😳

This is the front cover of a book I was asked to write late last year. It will feature a lot of my Kodak Instamatic images taken throughout the 1970s when I was a kid, up to later years when I had a better camera and was working within the sport. There will also be some words!
Remembering boyhood hero Peter Gethin, who left us twelve years ago today, with images of his finest career moment, at Monza in 1971
Lap 55 of the Italian GP, only Parabolica left to go, one more push under braking, Ronnie makes a small mistake and victory was his 🏆

Remembering two-time Grand Prix winner Jo Siffert, a hero of my youth, who lost his life fifty-two years ago today during the non-championship Victory Race at Brands Hatch
‘@MBrundleF1 I distinctly remember having similar thoughts about the visibility of the Lotus 72s when their new-for-1972 JPS livery was unveiled at the back end of ‘71 👀
Forty-four years ago today, on lap six the Japanese GP at Fuji, Ferrari’s new recruit Gilles Villeneuve missed his braking-point and rammed the back of Ronnie Peterson’s Tyrrell resulting in this spectacular accident. Sadly a marshal & a photographer lost their lives…

Pub quiz ammo! The last driver to lead a Formula 1 race whilst wearing an open-face helmet was Carlos Reutemann, at the 1974 Brands Hatch Race of Champions. His lead was short, however, as he crashed out on lap 7…

49 years ago tonight, 15-year-old me wended my way back to the midlands on public transport having witnessed Jean Pierre Beltoise victorious at Brands Hatch in the BRM P180
My Kodak Instamatic couldn’t cope with poor light, but I managed to salvage these 🤷🏼♂️

I took these photos of Gilles Villeneuve, Nigel Mansell & Derek Warwick forty years ago today on the grid at Las Vegas, prior to the start of the 1981 Caesar’s Palace GP
Sadly, it proved to be the last chance I’d ever have to take a photograph of Gilles...
