I am firmly of the view that it is better to see continuations and replicas racing (as long as their performance is not massively unrealistic) than to see nothing at all but these pictures and the earlier set with the DBRs do highlight just how much authenticity has been lost in the last few years. Thanks for all the pictures- the thread has been first point of call each morning.and a wonderful winter reminder of pleasures to come. Some fantastic cars and fantastic photography.. More please...

As in picture set 1096 , there are 2 DBRs racing , which I believe are both original .
Last year one of the other original DBRs sold for £ 17.5 million , making it the most expensive British car ever .
So it does make you wonder if the risk of taking these cars onto the racetrack is too high .

But I do have an interest in those cars .

In #1121 the second pic looks like the ex Pierre Dieudonné March 753 BMW (or the sister car driven by 'another bloke') Remember it from the B&O sponsorship. It ran in F3 back in 1975.
The bottom three are all F3 cars, the blue one a March, a later one with proper sidepods (783?) the red and gold one a Chevron (maybe B38?) the rear end shot looks F3 but cant tell what from that angle but looks like a 753 March from the engine cover..

Et maintenant, si tu veux voir une ressemblance avec cette March 753, essaie de trouver une vue arrière d'une Alpine A364. Twas a F3 too

Yes, the Alpine a364 was a pretty car that I liked, and it also had the vented slots across the engine cover.... but the difference from the rear was the Alpine had a centre post rear wing, the March using a lower cross bar with endplates to mount the wing.
