  • New Race for Super Touring Cars
    BULLETIN BULLETIN OF THE BRITISH RACING DRIVERS’ CLUB DRIVERS’ RACING BRITISH THE OF BULLETIN Volume 29 No 3 • AUTUMN 2008 OF THE BRITISH RACING DRIVERS’ CLUB Volume 29 No 3 3 No 29 Volume • AUTUMN 2008 AUTUMN 1 October 1978. Was it really 30 years ago that the Indy cars (or USAC cars as they were then known) came to Britain for the fi rst time? The British weather did its best to spoil John Webb’s great initiative and the fi rst three days were bedevilled by rain so that the race had to be postponed from Saturday to Sunday. But when they raced they did not disappoint with AJ Foyt, an Indianapolis legend if ever there was one, charging through from the fi fth row of the grid in his Coyote-Ford to be challenging Rick Mears in the Penske- Cosworth PC6 for the lead when the rain returned and the race was suspended. On the restart there was no stopping Anthony Joseph who surged past Rick into Stowe within a couple of laps and stayed ahead until the rain returned for a second time and that was that. Here we see the great man heading into the Woodcote chicane on his way to one of his rare wins in Europe. The small matter of the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours (with Dan Gurney) was the other.

Figlio di quel John Surtees campione in For- mula 1 nel 1964 con la Ferrari e ben 7 vol- te nel motomondiale, quando lo sport motoristico era poco più che una roulette russa, Henry aveva negli ultimi anni cer- cato fortuna nei campionati britannici di Formula BMW e F.Renault, prima di debut- tare con successo nel campionato inglese Formula 3 alla fine della passata stagio- ne. A quel punto della carriera, la mossa verso la nuova Formula 2 era sembrata quasi una scelta obbligata, viste le pro- messe di una serie che offriva grandi pos- sibilità a costi decisamente ridotti.
