As part of the annual Grand Prix de l’Age d’Or, the FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship has attracted a superb entry, headed by Andrew Beaumont in his ex-Ronnie Peterson Lotus 76/1. Opposition in the Pre-78 category comes from Larry Kinch in the ex-Alan Jones Williams FW06 and American Charles Nearburg in his newly-acquired ex-James Hunt McLaren M23. In an entry rich in variety, Michel Baudoin runs his Olympus liveried Hesketh 308E, Ensign is represented in the hands of James Hagan and also by Simon Fish in the later MN180.  The rare Trojan T103-1 is in the hands of Philippe Bonny and Frank Lyons will be competitive in the Penthouse-liveried Hesketh.
