le Mans start

At Goodwood Revival, just beyond the limit of a 300 f/2.8 and 1.4x converter - the heat haze is getting to this one.

I believe the LeMans motorcycle endurance race (I forget how many hours) is the only real race left in the world that still does the "LeMans Start" any more. Very cool.

This is definitely a real race - the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy.

You can just see bike #4 is on pole - Wayne Gardner put it there
Up against Steve Parrish, Niall MacKenzie, Phil Read, Mick Grant, Michael Rutter, Glen English, Stan Woods, Jim Scaysbrook, Chas Mortimer Duncan Fitchett.

You don't put IoM TT winners and GP champions like that on track and not have a race

Also on track Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, Dave Degens, Alan Cathcart, Cliff Ransley, Michael Neeves - a mixture of journalists and motorsport luminaries.
Dave Degens pretty much invented the Triton.
