Racing action at last year’s Ascot Park Hotel Classic SpeedFest. This year’s SpeedFest is part of the Formula Junior Platinum Jubilee World Tour to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Formula Junior. The formula was a stepping stone to Formula 1 in the period from 1958 to 1963 and were driven by many of the world’s best drivers at that time. A fantastic field of more than twenty cars has been entered with entries from the UK, Italy, Australia and Great Britain. Other classes include vintage racing cars, Mini 7 South and Mazda MX5s, plus the Noel McIntyre Drainage club saloons.
