Two Works B.R.M.’s Shoot Off At The Start
Where: Goodwood, England / Date: September 27, 1952
The Woodcote Cup; Goodwood, September 27, 1952. Tires smoking, the two works B.R.M.’s shoot off at the start. Nearest the camera is Reg Parnell, still watching the starter drop the flag while Froilan González on the other side also got a good start. Between them is Nino Farina in the Thinwall Special, a Ferrari 375/F1, modified by Vandervell. González went on to earn one of B.R.M.’s very few victories with Farina 2nd and Parnell 3rd. But, then, the race was only five laps! Photo by Alan R. Smith.
