Historic Warwick Jags (QLD)

Thanks for the pics, which I can see just fine way up here in North America. We have a big annual historic race weekend up at Monterrey in Central California every year. It attracts some pretty fancy cars. Several XK 120/140/150's, some C types and a few D types. There are usually some Listers, both Jaguar engined and Chevrolet engined ones.
What is really a hoot for me is to get a chance to see some of the specials I watched at Cal Club and SCCA events back in the 50's. One is the Pickford Jaguar Special, built from a wrecked XK140.
Each year they honor a particular marque and a famous driver. I got to see Jack Brabham drive the track in a Cooper formula 1 car. Last time I went the driver honored was Dan Gurney.
BTW, is Warwick the track where Jack Brabham raced Juan Manuel Fangio in the Mercedes W196? If you have not seen that on youtube, search "Brabham vs Fangio" and you will be in for a treat.
