jamesholland should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The pictures are not from the 1936 Donington Grand Prix, though I can't say which event they are from. I would suggest that 1938 is the correct year however.

ERA number 14 looks like R3A to me which was Charlie Martin's car. I am by no means sure.

ERA number 16 is a works C Type which would make it either R4C (later D) or R12C (later sold to Prince Chula and named Hanuman). I would plump for the former which would make it Mays' car.

The tail shot of a car going away is of one of the works Twin Cam Austins. It looks like it is going up the hill having left the Melbourne hairpin which presumably dates it as 1938 as the loop wasn't used until the Tourist Trophy in September 1937.

Car number 2 is definitely not a Maserati 8CM. I can't identify it and I'm confused by the right hand side exhaust.

Car 18 is another ERA, whose I don't know.
