Historic Formula 1 machinery will feature at this year’s British Grand Prix after it was added to the support bill.
Iconic 1970s and 1980s historic Formula 1 cars from the 3-litre era will feature in two support races, with Masters Historic Racing responsible for staging the races.
The series will join Formula 2, GP3 and the Porsche Supercup as support events for the Formula 1 Grand Prix across July 5 to 8.
“It’s great to know that British F1 fans will now have three opportunities to see our cars compete on British soil in 2018 – at the Silverstone Classic, at our own Masters Historic Festival at Brands Hatch at the end of May, and now too at the British Grand Prix”, says Masters Historic Racing founder Ron Maydon.
“The fact that we have been asked to organise a support race at the British Grand Prix certainly reflects the quality of the show we put on at Montreal, Austin and Mexico City last year.
“I’m sure that we will evoke many wonderful memories with the spectators that were also present at Silverstone and Brands in the seventies and eighties as well as fascinate the younger part of the crowd.”
It is the first time that Masters Historic Racing has supported a European Formula 1 event.
