Brands Hatch’s centenary celebrations continued with the annual Historic Sports Car Club Superprix event last weekend, at which 500cc and 1000cc Formula 3, Formula Ford and F5000’s contribution to the Kentish venue from 1950-81 presented a rich pageant.
A bumper crop of 500s contested the Lewis-Evans Trophy races, won by Alex Wilson and Hamish Cameron-Eveleigh. There was synergy in the one-litre screamer class too, 1980 FF2000 champion Richard Trott - a winner here 46 years ago - victorious for the first time. The legends behind the Cooper and Brabham cars they drove are of course immortalised in the names of the straights that sandwich the pits.
