Formula 5000 Surtees

Or is it a Formula One? (It seems a little bloated for that though.) Pic is at Brands Hatch.

I agree it's Brands Hatch.
The car following seems to be Graham Hill in Rob Walker's Brooke Bond Oxo Lotus 49C, so it would be a Formula 1 race, unless it was Formule Libre.

I'll settle for Formula One - a 1970 Surtees TS7

If you look at the Wikipedia link I gave, I think that's the same car, the same day and the same driver, i.e.  John Surtees himself

Bingo!
