27-28 MAY
From 1949 to 2004, the BRDC’s International Trophy race at Silverstone was an overlapping feast of non-championship Formula 1 and European F2, superseded by F3000 from 1985. In the venue’s 75th anniversary year, the Historic Sports Car Club’s retrospective showcased its Historic F2 championship, recapturing two-litre F2’s colourful circus of driving talent, open chassis design and raucous engines.
Warwickshire’s Andy Smith – who snared pole with a searing 1m54.505s (114.42mph) shot – emerged victorious in the ex-Eddie Cheever March-BMW 782 debuted last year.
