Current season |
The FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship is a championship that has old Formula One cars from "the golden era", which caters for 3-litre engine Formula 1 cars, from 1966 to 1985. [1]
The series grew out of the Grand Prix Masters series (not related or to be confused with the short-lived Grand Prix Masters series, a one-make formula series for retired Formula One drivers), which was an alternative to the Historic Formula One Championship car championship. With entries falling in Historic Formula One Championship and healthier grid being seen at Grand Prix Masters, the FIA awarded Masters Historic Racing the rights to promote the FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship from 2013 to the present day.
Masters Historic Racing is a United Kingdom based organisation, headed by entrepreneur Ron Maydon, [2] which also operates a number of other historic race categories, including a sister American series open to the same cars as the FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship. [3]
The 2017 season was marred by the death of 61 year-old French driver David Ferrer at Zandvoort. Ferrer was driving a March 701. [4] [5]
The season schedule includes six circuits in 2023: Hockenheimring, Brands Hatch, Zandvoort, Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, and Algarve.
