Thursday 1st April, 2010.

It's nearly Easter and that means (if the weather plays ball and stays fairly dry) we should get at least one day's motorsport over the Bank Holiday weekend (famous last words). So, with luck, we should be able to overload this blog with new photos taken at forthcoming events from now on. As a consequence, this will be the last look back at 'the olden days' until November. We wrap up with a few more shots taken at the 1988 British Motorcycle GP at Donington Park.
1) This is Carlos Lavado, the two-times 250cc World Champion. Although his best days were now over he was still the life and soul of the paddock and he could give the up-and-comers a run for their money (both in the Paddock and on the track).


2) Kevin Schwantz (his first year in GP's) proving that motorcycle riders have always been little skinny fellas.








3) 'Steady' Eddie Lawson smiles shock! See? He could do it, you just had to catch him at the right moment.




4) No prizes for guessing who came first, second and third in the 500 race then? Oh, OK, it was Wayne Gardner (1st), Wayne Rainey (2nd), and Christian Sarron (3rd).

5) Deep within the 'Outer Limits', otherwise known as The National Paddock, Jamie Witham takes down his awning under the worshipful gaze of Andrea. Ah, bless (they'll get married one day, you'll see).
