BRDC Bulletin Volume 30 Issue 1 BULLETIN BULLETIN OF THE BRITISH RACING DRIVERS’ CLUB DRIVERS’ RACING BRITISH THE OF BULLETIN Volume 30 No 1 • SPRING 2009 OF THE BRITISH RACING DRIVERS’ CLUB Volume 30 No 1 1 No 30 Volume • SPRING 2009 SPRING Sunday 27th May 1979 Lap one of the Monaco Grand Prix and already Jody Scheckter in his Ferrari 312T4 is stamping his authority on the race and the World Championship as he leads the field from Casino Square past the tip top bar and Tiffany’s towards Mirabeau. As a Monegasque resident for some years, and winner for Wolf two years earlier, this is “his” circuit. He has arrived hot from his win at Zolder two weeks earlier which has taken him into the lead of the World Championship for the first time. In first qualifying on Thursday, Ferrari team-mate Gilles Villeneuve tops the time sheets but on Saturday Jody rises to the challenge and secures pole position from Gilles by 0.07 sec which he then celebrates with a spectacular burn out from Tabac to the swimming pool. As Jody converts that pole into a lead which he will never relinquish, Gilles is outgunned off the line by Niki Lauda’s Brabham BT48-Alfa which has rocketed away from fourth on the grid. So it is ‘King Rat’ not Gilles who follows Jody for the first two laps while behind the second Ferrari are the Ligier JS11 of last year’s winner Patrick Depailler, his team-mate Jacques Laffite, Didier Pironi’s Tyrrell 009, Alan Jones in the Williams FW07 and Jochen Mass’s Arrows A1B. After 76 laps and the best part of two hours’ racing, Jody will win by just under 0.5 sec from a rapidly closing Clay Regazzoni in the other Williams (well out of shot here down in 15th place) and those bars and night clubs will become the scene of much celebrating by drivers, team personnel and race fans alike.

The BRDC Bulletin brings you articles on But if anyone can do it, it is the Brackley outfit Belgian Eric van de Poele in the declining Brabham team, on its last the new Formula 1 season, our Rising Stars and with Ross Brawn at the helm. I know this is so legs in what proves to be its last season.

Saturday’s qualifying is a washout, so Damon is in the race I wish all BRDC members competing this year times for everyone in the UK, but I believe that with the Judd V10-powered BT60B. Starting last, Damon finishes a terrifically exciting and successful campaign, the spirit that makes the UK world leaders in last in a totally uncompetitive car, crossing the line a few yards and four laps behind the hero of the hour and world champion elect, whether it is for the heady heights of World motor sport will be the same spirit which will get Nigel Mansell, in the dominant Williams FW14B-Renault which Championship status, or the more modest thrill of us all through this crisis.

Ian Titchmarsh for the BRDC SuperStars. I wonder which of these serious contenders will make it to the top one day in their chosen field. The BRDC is doing all it can to support them, but I wish we could do more. 2009 will be the last scheduled Grand Prix at Silverstone for the foreseeable future and I know the team at Silverstone is working flat out to make it the greatest ever. Last year was such a fabulous Damon Hill OBE success it will be hard to beat, but, for the first President, BRDC time, Lewis Hamilton will be competing on home turf with the most prized number on the car – number one.

They were only ever on sale at the circuit, and were sold to raise funds for things going on in Silverstone Village. Being sold on the circuit gave them access to some very hard to find signatures, as you can see from this initial selection. MR261 £30 MR262 £25 MR77C £45 Father and son drivers Sir Jackie Jody Scheckter, South African Damon Hill, British Racing Driver, and Paul Stewart.
