Malcolm. Ok the datto is not at the rear of the group. But, the man in the back ground is holding a green flag?
I also notice the cars are not very close to each other side by side, as they would if they were battling for position and the best racing line. I also can not see any sideways action as they are going around the bend, no tyre smoke, either from spinning the wheels as they do around corners, no hard braking?? None of them are in the racing line, or seem to be fighting for a racing line. Going by all these things, I think this might be a warm up lap, or they have just finished a warm up lap and are getting into starting positions. I am not a full on race expert, but that is what I think this photo is. Sorry.
