92 GP RACING APRIL 2020

SHOWCASE BRANDS HATCH

With 30 of the 80 laps of the

1968 British GPremaining itwas

obvious, barring mishaps, that

there would be a new race winner.

Jo Siffert (Lotus 49B) and Chris

Amon (Ferrari 312) were a minute

clear of Jacky Ickx. Siffert saw the

chequered flag first

Yes, it’s a Formula 1 circuit,

although you wouldn’t know

it from the surroundings. The

difference between the crowds

around the bowl of the ‘Indy’ circuit

and the almost park-like quality of

parts of th e GP circuit, as seen in

this shot from 1985, are striking

Frank Williams sitson a garish

garden chair as PatrickHead leans

on the pitwall, both waiting to see

leader Alan Jones come past in the

team’s Fw07B in the 1980 British

GP. And in the red shirton the

right is Steven Tee,who is now GP

Racing’s principal photographer...

Probably the most controversial

GP held at Brands wasin 1976.

British hero James Hunt (11)

collided with title rival Niki Lauda

at Paddock on the first lap. When

Hunt wasiniti ally prevented from

taking the restart of his home race

the crowd were not bestpleased...
