Another brilliant candid moment from our 1976 Kyalami Grand Prix archive!

This shot gives us an up-close look at the #6 JPS Lotus 77 nose-on in the pit lane, complete with the Union Jack and Lotus badging on display. Spotting the raw setup of the pits back in the 70s, no massive screens or team dividers, just mechanics, tools, and pure motorsport heritage, is always special to look back on.

Who remembers hanging out near the pit wall at Kyalami during practice sessions back in the day?
