The Masters Festival

Masters Historic Racing will be making three iconic British circuits tremble in 2016 as it unleashes a mighty grid of CanAm cars on the Grand Prix circuits of Brands Hatch, Donington and Silverstone.

As part of CanAms 50th anniversary celebrations, Masters Historic Racing will organise a three-race series for the ground-shakers, which will include classes for prototype cars from the late 60s and 70s, culminating in a special double-header of showcase races at the Silverstone Classic in July. Action begins in May on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit, before the CanAm 50 Interserie Challenge series heads to Donington Park (July 2/3) and then ends at Silverstone (July 29/31).

In period, CanAm was about everything in-excess, allowing thundering engines, excessive horsepower, huge wings and nerve-tingling sounds and the new Masters triple-header of races will aim to recreate those heady days. There will be two classes for CanAm cars within the races; one or the later 1970s cars and one for the earlier 1960s cars, along with a class for the later, smaller-engined sports-prototypes that ran in the Masters Interserie Revival series a few seasons back.
