1975 Hesketh 308

This was one of the competitors in the Grand Prix Masters race at the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004.

It's the 1975 Hesketh 308C  of Graham Wilcox, seen here at Luffield Corner during the race. The car has a 2,993cc V8 Ford Cosworth DFV engine, and it was in one of these cars that James Hunt won his first World Championship race, the 1975 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort.

On 22 April 2013 I showed photographs of the car in the pit garage at this meeting.

BRM P160

This is another car which took part in the Grand Prix Masters race at the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004.

It's a 1971 Yardley sponsored BRM P160 of 1971. The car isn't listed in the programme, but it appears to be the car in which Peter Gethin won the 1971 Italian Grand Prix in a race which until the 2003 Italian Grand  Prix was the fastest Formula One race of all time, and it is still the closest finish ever. In 2004 it was owned by the American Nick Rini.

The car is shown in the program as a Hesketh 308C-2 and most photographs of the Hesketh 308 in this livery show it with a different nose. When Lord Hesketh pulled out of racing the existing team cars and the design itself went through a variety of upgrades and changes as this ten-tenths.com forum details.
