SHOWCASE THE BRITISH GP


Lap 11 of the 2003 race featured
an unwanted guest appearing
on Hangar Straight. Neil Horan
invaded the track, but thankfully all
the cars avoided him andthe S afety
Car was scrambled. Stephen Green,
a marshal, caught Horan and
Green was later awarded the
BARC Browning medal for bravery

Strange as it seems now, the
appearance of F1 cars –suc h as
this Jaguar driven by Martin
Brundle – on the streets of London
in 2004 was part of a promotion
for the British GP. However, it also
called into question Silverstone’s
hosting of the race and increased
calls for an impractical London GP

84 GP RACING JULY 2020

Karl Kling, Mercedes team-mate to winner
Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio,
is followed by Roberto Mieres (Maserati)
in the 1955 race at Aintree. The track,
situated within the grounds of the Aintree
racecourse, venue for the Grand National
steeplechase, opened in 1954 specifically
to host grand prix racing
