Lined up behind him on the street circuit are Paul Hawkins in the Lotus 33 (No. 10) and, further back, Joakim Bonnier in his Brabham BT7 (No. 12) beside a 'LUCAS' banner. With spectators and officials lining the course, the scene evokes the classic atmosphere and tense anticipation of mid-century motorsport.
