Guys,
Here's a little challenge for you. Can you guess the name of this 1950s Grand Prix driver?
Hint: You know his name but probably don't know that he was also a Grand Prix driver.

It’s Carroll Shelby in a Maserati 250F F1 car.

Good morning Gordon,
Long story short - I made a
big mess (under
Racing) with Race Report No.213 ... and not once or twice but three times trying to be creative with an answer to this quiz.
I’m pretty sure the Scalextric - Carroll Shelby - replica (owner Arden) of your 50’s racing car pic was also photographed June 2016 at FRC ... in 5th position on the grid.
Photos of Scalextric C3481A No.5 Maserati 250F car:
That said - is it possible you put RR213 (under Racing) back where it belongs because I tried (by myself) and caused more problems :-/
Sorry about ...
Luke

Well done Luke! I had forgotten that Arden has that car and that it was the same one in my challenge.
BTW, I fixed the RR213 problem very easily.
