By the mid-‘60s, Formula 1 had entered the 3.0-litre era. After making history in 1966 as the first and only man to win world championships as both driver and constructor in the same season, Jack Brabham’s success continued at Monaco 1967 when the BT20 driven by Denny Hulme took victory in a traumatic race that claimed the life of Ferrari’s Lorenzo Bandini. This very Brabham, in which Hulme also won that year’s drivers’ championship, will join the revered FOS line-up.
Finally, a Formula 1 car from an entirely different era, the McLaren MP4/15 will rocket past Goodwood House. The 2000 Monaco Grand Prix saw Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher take a huge lead from pole,with McLaren-Mercedes’ David Coulthard breaking free of the pack in hot pursuit. Suspension damage later eliminated Schumacher from the race, allowing Coulthard to take the victory.
Commenting on the special FOS feature, the Duke of Richmond said: “Monaco is the race that every driver who sat in an F1 car has wanted to win and only a select few have ever done so.
“Bringing together such an elite group of cars, and the stories that they have to tell, in order to mark this 90thanniversary year for the race is a real privilege. It is part of what makes the Festival of Speed such a unique celebration that we can provide the opportunity for F1 aficionados of all ages to see and hear them in action once again.”
