Formula 1 will take a bow to its heritage next summer by adding two historic F1 support races to its British GP program at Silverstone.
Participants from the FIA's classic F1 European series and its North American equivalent will come together in a howling whale of Cosworth DFVs and a few V12's to offer fans an exciting trip down memory lane.
Masters Historic Racing, which staged historic F1 races in Canada, the United and States and Mexico last year, will run the races next July.
"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," says MHR founder Ron Maydon.
"I'm sure that we will evoke many wonderful memories with spectators who were also present at Silverstone and Brands in the 1970s and 1980s as well as fascinate the younger part of the crowd."
The British Grand Prix weekend will take place at Silverstone on July 6-7-8.
