The FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship heads the action over the three-day historic festival, with Steve Hartley (Arrows A4) looking to extend his championship lead over Simon Fish (Ensign N180) in the Post-1978 category. Hartley has taken seven race wins this season and is looking like a safe bet for the title as he is 23 points up on Fish, but egg magnate fish is sure to give his all in a car that was raced by Dutch hero Jan Lammers in period. In the Pre-1978 division, Manfredo Rossi di Montelera will be eager to extend his advantage over the Lotus duo of Andrew Beaumont (76/1) and Max Smith-Hilliard (77) who are tied on points behind.

A battle royal should take place in the FIA Masters Historic Sports Car Championship where Jason Wright (Lola T70 Mk3B) heads the title race by just three points from Keith Ahlers/Billy Bellinger (Cooper Monaco King Cobra) with Andy Newall (Chevron B8) just two points back. However the return of likely race winners Leo Voyazides/Simon Hadfield (Lola T70 Mk3B) who run in the same class as Wright could affect his weekend’s score and throw the championship wide open.
