Historic motor racing: Monza

From the past weekend's Coppa Storica, a three-day celebration of heritage cars at one of the world's oldest active racetracks (Monza, born 1922). Taken with K-5 IIs and Tamron 70-200, unless otherwise indicated.


1 - Benvenuti a Monza... (K-3, Tamron 17-40)


2 - Wherefore art thou, Romeo?


3 - Former F1 racer Paolo Barilla has purchased a Williams FW07 to do a spot of historic racing. Looks as though he's really looking forward to it...


4 - Barilla leads, but the chasing Loïc Deman won after his Italian rival ran out of fuel.


5 - Snakefight


6 - Behind the scenes


7 - Green party: Tommy Dreelan won the second Group C race... but only after half a dozen quicker cars ran into trouble


8 - F2 cars set sail for the final right-hander at Parabolica


9 - About 400 miles away there were 20 F1 cars contesting the Austrian GP (minus a couuple after the second corner). We had 35 om the grid, although accurate period reliability would eventually take its toll (K-3, 17-50)

I like 7 - The green party. The dynamic composition, if that's the right word is great.
