LIVRO - Frank Gardner piloto Australiano, faleceu no mês de Agosto vitima de cancro, noticia que pode ter passado desapercebida a muitos mas que me fez lembrar logo a imagem deste Camaro Z 28 com que venceu o Britsh Touring Car no distante ano de 1973. Piloto ecléctico e com grande conhecimentos de mecânica, bem no estilo dos pilotos Australianos, correu em F1, F2, Sport-protótipos, Gr2, F 5000 e Formula Tansman, sendo de destacar as vitórias no BTC em 1967, 1968 e 1973 assim como no Campeonato de F5000 Britanico, tendo sido o piloto encarregue do desenvolvimento do lindíssimo Ford P68, carro que tinha a difícil tarefa de suceder ao mítico Ford GT40.

Lola T300 [P] Chevrolet - Driver Frank Gardner.
Photograph taken in Snetterton paddock on 30/08/1971.
This is the original T300, developed by Frank Gardner from a T240 F2/Atlantic chassis. This car was originally numbered T242 but by the time it came to Snetterton it had been re-numbered as T300. This was the last time the T300/T242 ever raced. It was destroyed in a race collision with the McLaren M18 of Brian Redman. All further T300s were built directly as F5000 chassis not modified F2 chassis. Legenda e fotografia retirada Aqui
