    Saw this in a restaurant today and took a quick picture - hence the funny angle.

    Does anyone know what race event this was and what the cars are? Car 11 on the left has a Ferrari logo ... P4?

    I'm not great on vintage models but I like this print.... the quality of my photo is undeniably poor but I'm pretty sure this is a well-known photo of a well-known race event...

    That car #11 is a 250 TR.
    Judging by the News Of The World that is in the UK!

    My bet is Goodwood 1959 Tourist Trophy. Found a very similar photo here, same adverts and cars!

    Oh and this is exactly it:

    So driver of 11 would be Phil Hill / Cliff Allison (DNF but somehow they finished 3rd in another car in same race? haha)

    My research for the day is done!

    Only 5 DBR1’s, so #4 is one of them :)

    No worries! It was quite satisfying piecing it together. Felt like Columbo for a moment!

    …just one more thing…
