1970, Probably, it was a Test in the Spring with Seppi & Mario. It was so Foggy they they didn't go out much & this 11 year old got to hang out with the Legends as there were 20 People tops at the Track

A nice shot from an interesting article on Heuer and F1 drivers, written recently by Mark Moss:

With, I believe, an almost always grim Gulf team manager David York standing with hand on his slacks next to him.......
Nice pic, looks like Sebring.
Affirmative; 1970 -- a year that David Yorke had particular reason to be grim, as Porsche had shipped him a run of defective front hub/uprights that took the Gulf-Porsches out of contention early. Siffert and Redman drove like maniacs -- at one point Redman had the vertical cooling-fan fly off into the parking lot, but he was able to bring the car in before it overheated. Siffert eventually wound up in Rodriguez's car and they managed to finish that car fourth, behind one of Andretti's greatest drives in the Ferrari 512S, the McQueen/Revson 908, and an Alfa 33/3.
