Free Practice Masters Historic Formula 1 – Pit Scenes

Friday sept. 1; For this years edition we only could attend the event for one day and picked out the day where most free practices and qualifications took place…
Despite the fact our friend Manfredo Rossi wasn’t competing this weekend, it didn’t hold us off to gave it our best shot and provide some fine images.

Noel got the opportunity to capture some scenes in the pitlane during the free practice of the Masters Historic Formula 1 in the early morning,
while John headed off to a strategic spot on the outside of the Tarzan corner in the dunes…

Nevertheless, in the featured two pages presented here; we’re confident we certainly got something in the pocket to offer…!

The return of the beautiful Ligier Talbot-Matra JS17; Michael Lyons afterwards in conversation in his pit garage;

Classic Team Lotus of course, and; not to be forgotten: David Ferrer in his 1970 March……
