Whats this?

Who where the drivers?
-
Number 2.
Not taken at Le mans this time but the car did race there.

#2 is the Pace Petroleum Aston Martin turbo Vantage owned by Robin Hamilton and driven by Salmon and Leslie (?) - I'm guessing '79 or '80
-
Your right about the car being the Aston AMV8 turbo. I think it may have been pre Pace Petroleum/Victor Gauntlet days.
The car was owned by Robin Hamilton and entered by Link Systems.
But the drivers are not Mike Salmon or David Leslie when this picture was taken.
-
OK - if it's pre Pace - it'll be the Link Systems car from the late 70's?
In which case Hamilton and Preece?
I read somewhere that Derek Bell drove this car too - is Hamilton and Bell the Le Mans link?
-
Is pic #1 an URD?

Right about Hamilton but not Preece (he drove the car at Le Mans and elsewhere)
This was taken at Silverstone in 1980, the co driver was D Bell he did not get to drive in the race as it retired in Hamiltons hands very early.

Not the best picture in the world, a bit of fence got in the way!
The link between the 2 pictures is that both had Le Mans winners down to drive, and both marques both still race there.
And its not a URD.

Dome RC?
Hasn't Jan Lammers been involved with Dome since way back when?
-
Nearly there.
Your on the right track with Dome, but this was way before Jan Lammers was part of the set up.
-
I though Jan first had dealings with them twenty-odd years ago? No other ideas on the though.
-
I don't think Jan drove for Dome until his RfH team was set up. But I could be mistaken.
Anymore suggestions on the ID of the drivers?
-
Didn't Chris Craft and Bob Evans drive the Dome RL 80 at Le Mans in 1980? Don't know about elsewhere.
-
Craft & Evans where teamed up together in 1980 and 81 in the futuristic Dome Zero's.

In 79 the team entered two cars, one driven by Spice/Craft the other by Evans/Trimmer. Both cars retired within a few laps of each other.
However the picture is of a later Dome, the RC83, which was entered in the 1984 race. Its drivers where to have been swedes Eje Elgh and Stanley Dickens, who later went on to win in a Sauber Mercedes.
The car non started due to a crash in practice.
