The Marlboro BRM crew working on Jean Pierre Beltoise’s car. He would finish 9th.

Aston Martin DB5 Shooting Brake. Or, in American, station wagon. Although current usage would be SUV or something equally horrid. The DB5 shooting brake was in production from 1963-1965. I apparently spotted this on the way in. To this day it remains the only one I’ve ever seen.

The Elf Tyrrell pits.

Emerson Fittpaldi’s Lotus. Fittipaldi was the reigning world champion, but he finished 6th- coupled with team mate Ronnie Peterson’s win, it won the constructor’s championship for Lotus. I always liked the iconic gold on black paint job- seen on any number of Pontiac Trans-Ams, as well as Team Lotus.

One of the Shadows. I had to blow it up some and finally saw the name on the rear wing. There were four Shadows there that day- Follmer and Oliver in works cars, Graham Hill in the Embassy car, and Brian Redman in another one.

George Follmer’s Shadow. Or at least parts thereof.

Howden Ganley’s Iso-Marlboro Ford. In 1971 or 1972 I was passed by the van carrying Ganley’s racer on the autobahn in Germany. I was doing 80 – which was about all I could get out of my Volvo wagon full of kids and camping gear. The van went by as if I were anchored.

Graham Hill’s Shadow. Hill was a private entry sponsored by Embassy cigarettes. The whole project was Hill’s creation after he parted company with Brabham.

In the pits. The van belongs to the Tyrrell Ford team- with the name of the unfortunate Francois Cevert still on it. The three cars visible are McLarens, however. Car 8 is driven by Peter Revson who finished 5th that day. The other two McLarens were driven by Denis Hulme and Jody Scheckter.

Shadow team toolbox. The Shadow team had built some awesome Can-Am cars, but never really had success in Formula 1. George Follmer was the team driver, and Graham Hill had a privately entered Shadow as the Embassy Racing entry.
