OK, I thought you'd all be just about ready for another one of my blotchy pictures, it's another who, what where & when question and the where bit is pretty easy...

Personally I would have not truck with lorry racing, but maybe it is Steve Parrish.

It's Mike O'Brien at the 1985 British Truck Grand Prix which was clearly held at Donington Park. Autoglass have appeared as his sponsors over the gears and the other connection is Bedford being part of General Motors (at the time) and of course Mike went on to drive a Holden in the BTCC. Thank you and goodnight! |

I took the liberty of posting this in here as an extension to a topic that was initially raised in "bauble's" picture thread. As it is not really pictures and so as not to detract from that thread I chose to continue it here.
(Sorry mods if I have overstepped the mark.... but done more out of respect for the picture parade thread.) Anyway we got to discussing Aston Martin DBR3S's in particular a team that featured in a question posted. 'Old Tony' gave details of the Australian Kangaroo Stable Racing Team from the fifties, and for my part I added that to my knowledge I thought the Kangaroo Stable had been resurrected by an overseas based Aussie in the 1990's. I did a bit of Googling and found out that the Aussie is a guy by the name of Kean Rogers. I found this article in a US Aston Martin Owners Club publication dated 2004 It re-iterates what 'OT' told us about the history and goes on to mention the status (as of 2004) Quote:
https://amocna.org/wp-content/upload...-Spring-04.pdf I also found a detailed account of McKay's Aston competition history from when it was sent to Australia (via NZ) for McKay to race downunder. Includes it's Speed Record activity. https://primotipo.com/2017/09/28/dav...-martin-db3ss/ |

Three cars entered, 1st & 2nd, and one retired. I do not think any other driver/constructor combination has ever won overall at Le Mans.
I wonder if Colin Chapman might be the answer to GerryMo's question, using class win? |
