Seventy years and two days after Clive Wormleighton first welcomed racers and fans to Mallory Park, 500cc Formula 3 again topped the bill at Leicestershire’s atmospheric ‘lap of the lake’ as the Classic & Modern Motorsport Club and British Racing & Sports Car Club celebrated the platinum anniversary.
On 21 May 1956, Jack Moor won the first Half-Litre race in his self-built Wasp, and the final, from heat two winner Dick Hett and Peter Procter in Coopers. This time, 500 Owners Association champion Alex Wilson scored first in his Cooper-Norton Mk10, built in the same year as the circuit!
