Vernasca Hill Climb 2018 Bristol 406S

Teb Marius sent me a clip of Stefano Passini's 409 at Vernasca in 2015 after my article in the latest BODA mag.

Here is a link to youtube with dashcam footage of the Bristol 406S

All the best

Thanks for that seems a long hill clime not like Prescott ?? any other racing clips of Bristol's like to se a 401/3 racing ?? 

Approx 9.2km of which the first 5km are straight (with chicanes) then 4.2km of hill climb. 

Keith says: ?? any other racing clips of Bristol's like to se(e) a 401/3 racing ??

I've never found any period footage I'm afraid. The simple answer is that the 401/403 were not really suitable for racing. In 1952 for instance Tony Crook (probably THE most successful racer ever with Bristol cars and engines) only took part in 2 races with his 401.

Here he is on 10th May 1952 at the Silverstone International Meeting Production Touring Cars Race. He was 5th in that race.  In the other race that day he used his FN LMR RPJ1
