Inaugural Long Beach Grand Prix. Sunday Sept. 28th. 1975
Tony Brise turning from Pine Ave onto Ocean Blvd late in the race and well in the lead after Mario Andretti had just retired.
He is passing the pit road entrance and setting off on what was to be his last lap. A lap later at this exact spot the car came to a stop under the Coca Cola sign across the street with the second broken rear half shaft of the weekend !
This photo captures the familiar Tony Brise driving style with his head and helmet leaning slightly forward and also the crowd scene as the shadows start to stretch across the track.
