A pair of events scheduled for later this year in England will celebrate the half century since Graham Hill became the first British driver to win the Formula One World Championship driving a British car.
Planning is under way in BRM’s hometown of Bourne for a gala 50th Anniversary celebration on October 7 of Hill’s 1962 F1 crown, won with the BRM P57, which remains a proud moment in the city’s history. Organizers will bring a definite ’60s flavor back to the Lincolnshire market town during this year’s festivities, with road cars from the era on display and in action, music from the period heard all around town and everyone encouraged to dress in retro-style for the day.
