After a lengthy rebuild, the ex-Jean-Pierre Osella FA1 Grand Prix car returned to racing at the recent Masters Festival at Brands Hatch.

Frank Lyons added the Osella to his stable several years ago, but has been racing other cars, and so it became a long-term project. He took a pair of top-10 finishes at Brands.

Jarier raced the car from the middle of 1981 and achieved a series of top- 10 finishes, after Piercarlo Ghinzani and Beppe Gabbiani struggled to qualify their FA1s over the early-season races.
