Surtees Super Prix

Anew race series for rear-engined Fl and Tasman cars features in the Brands

Hatch Super Prix programme on July 2 and 3. The 21/2 and 11/2-litre cars from 59-65 have tended to be tagged-on to other racing up to now, until the formation of FORE (Formula One Rear-Engined), inspired by collector Cedric Selzer. Other rounds are at Silverstone on May 30 (BRDC) and 31 (Coys Historic Festival), and Snetterton on September 17/18. Other highlights at the Super Prix, which commemorates the 30th anniversary of John Surtees’ 1964 World Championship, include Stirling Moss driving a Mercedes WI 96, and a sparkling display of ex-work racing bikes, including the 1974 one-off MV Agusta six-cylinder, interspersed among two days of racing for cars and bikes of the Fifties and Sixties. G C Atwo-day Classic Rally and Concours on April 16-17 aims to introduce competitors to the beauties of Snowdonia, and combines the Five Castles Rally (mainly regularity) with a concours which emphasises elegance and includes a road route before judging at the Padarn Country Park.
