Photos: The Bill Pottinger Collection - Part 1

[Steve Holmes]

This photo is stunning! Graham McRae is clearly pushing hard. He didn't have a good time of it at Wigram, where a small fire erupted in his engine bay as the cars were on the grid, and by the time the fire was put out, the rest of the field was already on its second lap. McRae completed just 20 laps before the McLaren retired with overheating issues. He did, however, win his preliminary race, by a comfortable margin. Bill, can you recall if you took this photo during the preliminary or the main race?
