    I agree with you that it is an important race, therefore I am bit disappointed that you link to a site that just produces shots without any explanation what car we are looking at.

    I agree, details would be nice... no photo ID from the site, just a Flash gallery?
    Will give it a shot, but not certain of some of them...

    Race 2, F1: Arrows (?), Lotus 81, March (?), Brabham BT81, Matra Ford

    Race 3 WSM: Cooper King Cobra (?), Chevron B19 or 21, Lola T70, Alfa Romeo 33-3(?), Porsche 935
    Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...

    some corrections: The "March" is actually a Brabham B42, while the "Brabham" is the Williams FW07D#16.
    The Sports car: Cooper T61#CM-4-63, the Chevron I am curious to know which one it is (or pretends to be), the Lola T70 could well a replica, and perhaps also the 934/5
    The Chevron is a B23, and the Porsche a 911RSR.

    Your analysis is correct, apart from that the Revival Meeting, where many of the same cars were racing, was held the weekend before.
