for 'pre 1966 Grand Prix Cars

Although Auto Union produced the first rear-engined Grand Prix cars, Cooper in the 60s really demonstrated how much more effective they were than front-engined cars. By this time Ferrari were the only challenge to the British teams but no rear-engined examples from this manufacturer appear to have survived. Hence this pre-1966 celebration is mainly populated by Cooper, Lotus, Brabham and BRM cars. As in many areas of historic racing, expect these cars to be quicker than they were in contemporary time and still with only 1½ litres.
