@JimClarkTrust Photo on https://t.co/ji6DPKX89v with background. Hayes brought Ford into F1 and was a friend of Colin Chapman, hence the Lotus Ford and Lotus Cortina cars. Walter wrote a chapter in Graham Gauld’s book ‘Jim Clark. Portrait of a Great Driver.
@BradyBoxBrownie I’d be grateful to know which camera and lens you used for your photo of Mary Bousted in the February 2 Times newspaper. The detail is excellent.
@MnJpsf1uk To celebrate their successes racing Cortinas in 64 Walter Hayes took drivers to celebrate in Cortina D’Ampezzo. Jim Clark injured himself so Hayes arranged for Jackie Stewart, a BRM signed driver, to race a Lotus in the non-championship https://t.co/rNmVejssuO, Jan 1965 F1 race.
@paulpunter@PeterNunn3@TheBishF1@VeloceBooks@Motor_Sport Walter Hayes was the target for the snowballs. He had brought Jim and a number of other drivers together in Cortina D’Ampezzo to celebrate their many combined victories that year racing Cortinas.
@paulpunter@PeterNunn3@TheBishF1@VeloceBooks@Motor_Sport I imagine you know Jackie’s Lotus F1 debut was organised by Walter Hayes, with Tony Rudd’s agreement, because Jim Clark had injured himself at a Ford celebration in Cortina D’Ampezzo. See https://t.co/AFCMbeQlK5
@F1Photo Actually Paul-Henri, they were also celebrating my birth on that very day! Another connection with Stirling is him reading a poem about cricket at my father’s memorial service https://t.co/F19sYBQabD
