The FORCE Classic Grand Prix race for Formula One cars built between 1966 and 1972 has a total of 29 entries, ranging from Ben Liebert's Eagle-Westlake V12 - which won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix - through to Nick Rini's BRM P160B V12 which Peter Gethin drove to success in the 1971 Italian Grand Prix - the fastest ever grand prix which Gethin won by one-tenth of a second!

The Cooper, McLaren, Surtees, Brabham, Lotus, March and Tecno marques are among others featured, with Formula Two, F5000 and Tasman cars all contributing to the line-up.

The BEA Systems Trophy race is the sixth round of the FIA Thoroughbred Grand prix Championship, and sports a superb entry of famous cars once driven by some of the giants of Formula One.

The 40-car list includes the ex-Alan Jones race-winning Williams FW07 of 1980, the Lotus 81,87, 91 and 92 cars once raced by Nigel Mansell, a Williams FW08c previously tested by Ayrton Senna, and Martin Stretton's magnificent six-wheeled Tyrrell P34, as race by Ronnie Petersen and Patrick Depailler.

The field is divided into three classes, for pre-71, post-71 non ground effect, and full ground effect/flat-bottomed cars which dominated from the late 1970s onwards.

The European BOSS Formula Championship race sports a 33-car entry, including the Jordan 194s driven by Tony Worswick and Sarah Kavanagh. The cars are all pre-1998 Formula One, F3000 and Indy cars, including grand prix marques such as Ferrari, Tyrrell, Footwork, Pacific, Benetton, Dallara, Eurobrun, Toleman, RAM and Lola. In common with the other races, the BOSS series is highly competitive and promises to bring back memories for the Formula One fans present, as well as providing entertaining racing for the rest of the large expected crowd.

With Jordan demonstrating its own machinery, including the original Ford-powered 191 and race-winning 199 Mugen, the EJ10 event will present UK spectators with their only chance to see current grand prix cars in action since April's British GP.

Tickets for the event are available from the Donington Park Ticket Hotline on +44 (0)115 912 9124, while further information about the event can be found on the circuit's web-site at www.donington-park.co.uk
