Frank Matich leads a Triumph TR4 and Austin Healey 100 on the short stretch of road between Long Bridge as he aims his Lotus 19B Climax into the progressively more-uphill-on turn-in Newry Corner during the 1964 Australian Tourist Trophy, February 29, 1964.
Matich won the 23 lap, 103.5 mile race from Bob Jane’s Jaguar E-Type Lwt and Greg Cusack, Elfin Mallala Lotus-Ford twin-cam. We have been here before, see here; https://primotipo.com/2019/05/18/1964-australian-tourist-trophy/ and here; https://primotipo.com/2017/09/08/bay-of-plenty-road-race-and-the-frank-matich-lotus-19s/
It’s an unusual elevated shot from this spot, I’m intrigued to know where the ‘snapper took the shot?
