Lotus 78 De Villota and Betteridge's Tyrrell Aurora 1979 Brands Hatch 7x5" photo

Emilio De Villota leading Neal Betteridge's Tyrrell 008 at Brands Hatch.

This is a race from the 1979 Aurora AFX British F1 series - Villota went on to win the series in 1980 (driving a Williams).

I think the Villota car is the 1977 Belgian GP winning chassis driven then by Nillson.

Both drivers went on to race in Grands Prix but neither enjoyed any success. Zunino actually drove alongside World Champion Nelson Piquet at Brabham for a season.
