EYE CANDY // THE EARLY YEARS OF OPEN WHEEL RACING

I found this incredible shot the other day and thought I would share it with you guys. I am unsure as to who, what or where this photos was taken, but I am sure that it is one of the most impressive images from the early years of open wheel racing I have ever seen. That said, if you have any information regarding this photograph, do share it with us in the comment section // [comment]

    I'm going to say that is the Brooklands race circuit in England. It bares a resemblance to this photo:

    Our man, Jake Yorath, has answered the call!

    "That's Brooklands of course! Napier Railton is the car."

    Thanks Jake!

    Am I the only one who gets a little sad when they see a picture like the one above, with an incredible classic racer practically floating around a steeply-banked circuit, and then sees the picture that Anonymous posted of the track as it sits today?

    But, what an incredible picture!
