Classic and Competition Car
At the recent HSCC International Trophy (Report next month) Frank Lyons was racing his F5000 McRae GM1 in the Aurora Trophy. The car was finished in a metallic red colour scheme but perhaps many will remember the 'dayglo' STP colour scheme of the example driven by Graham McRae in the early 70s. McRae is shown here in the STP liveried car at Brands Hatch in October 1972 during a round of the Rothmans European F5000 Championship. The Chevron of Brian Redman is already out of shot in the lead with Frank Gardner's prototype Lola T330 in McRae's wheel-tracks. Redman beat McRae to the flag a followed by Gardner.
