Talk to the Driver

            File: 2023005-0191

Shelsley Walsh, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 3rd June 2023.
 
About the photograph.

The man with the baseball cap, I’ve no idea who he is, he could be a family member of the driver, or the driver’s mechanic, or anything like that. Here, he is making final checks to the car, including the steering wheel, cockpit, and stuff, plus having a quick chat with the driver, before the car moves forwards to the starting line.

The driver is Jack Cottrill from Upton Snodsbury in Worcestershire. Here he is getting ready, while in his Dallara Cosworth open-wheel, single-seat race car with 2650cc engine.

The programme guide only said the car is Dallara Cosworth, but did not state which model.

Dallara Group S.r.l. is a largest multi-national Italian race car manufacturer. It was founded by Diampaolo Dallara. It had designed and built some cars for various motorsport events, including Formula 1.
 
About Shelsley Walsh.

Shelsley Walsh is a motorsports speed hill climb track in Worcestershire, and organised by the Midland Automobile Club (MAC).

It is one of the oldest motorsports event, having started in 1905, and held events every year, except for the two World Wars.

It is also a notably steep course by today’s hill climb standards, rising 328ft / 100m over its 1000 yards / 914 metres length.

The track and course do not belong to MAC, it is leased from the local landowner. The original lease ran for 99 years, and in 2005, a new lease was signed for the next 99 years.
