Michael Lyons’ Williams FW07 won both rounds of the FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship at Brands Hatch from 25-27 May.
Lyons started race one from pole, storming away from the opposition before a brief period under the safety car bunched up the pack.
Using the space of the full GP circuit to his advantage, Lyons soon worked his way free to take the win. Simon Fish, in his Ensign N180, and Ian Simmonds’ Tyrrell 012, took second and third respectively.
Lyons took command of race two as well, leaving Simmonds and Mike Wrigley engaged in a tussle for runner-up. After a race-long duel, it was Simmonds who triumphed to take second.
The full circuit was also used for the FIA Masters Historic Sports Car Championship enduro, where the Lola T70 of Leo Voyazides and Simon Hadfield reigned supreme.
Second place went to Steve Allen and David Gathercole’s Lola T212, while Manfredo Rossi di Montelera, in an Abarth Osella PA1, snatched third.
The touring car race for up to two-litre cars brought the smaller Indy circuit into action, with Desmond Smail’s Mini Cooper ‘S’ taking the win.
Leo Voyazides’ Ford Falcon Sprint won the over two-litre race, on the short track, but couldn’t stop Henry Mann and Anthony Reid on the Grand Prix circuit for race two.
