F1’s Return to Power
Return to Power, a new series for 3-liter Formula One cars that raced between 1966 and 1971, is set to kick off at Brands Hatch on May 26-27 with the Historic Race of Champions. The event is being promoted by historic racers Andrew Smith, Joe Twyman and Roger Wills in association with Masters Historic Racing, and will provide an opportunity for owners of earlier F1 cars from this highly evocative era to race competitively, away from the later winged and ground-effect cars. The Historic Race of Champions will be run at the Masters Historic Festival at Brands Hatch, just two weeks after the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. Ace preparation company Hall & Hall is sponsoring the event.

Speed Week Revival
Half a century ago, Speed Week in the Bahamas was one of the most popular race meets on motor racing’s international calendar. Many of the sport’s top names looked forward to each December’s “working vacation” in the Caribbean as the runways of Nassau’s Oakes Field were transformed into a venue for races organized by Sherman “Red” Crise with the assistance of local luminaries Sir Sydney Oakes and Robert Hallam Symonette. First run in 1954, the event attracted entries from all over the world with the prospect of a racing holiday in the then British colony until the last races were staged in 1966.

Lord March has announced that the dates for the 20th Goodwood Festival of Speed will be June 28-July 1, with the event’s theme of “Young Guns—Born to Win” celebrating all those “overnight sensations” whose insatiable thirst for speed immediately earned them a place in the sport’s pantheon of stars. The Festival will also mark the 60th anniversary of Lotus Engineering with a spectacular assemblage of Colin Chapman’s creations.

MILLE MIGLIA N.A. TRIBUTE
The inaugural Mille Miglia North America Tribute hit the road last October with fewer cars than originally envisioned but enthusiastic participation from those present. The event’s quality was boosted by a pair of Ferraris—a 1956 500 Mondial and a 1957 500 Testarossa—boasting period competition on La Corsa piú Bella del Mondo and an exquisite 1935 Delahaye 135 MS.

Rennsport Reunion IV
After three celebrations on the East Coast at Daytona and Lime Rock, Porsche’s triennial Rennsport Reunion came to California in 2011 for a wonderful October weekend at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Rennsport Reunion IV was well-received by a large, enthusiastic crowd, and proved a fitting, though unstated, tribute to the late Porsche pr boss Bob Carlson, the California native from whose mind the original idea for such an event sprang.

Goodwood Revival Magic
If you arrived at Goodwood just after the gates opened on any of the Revival’s three mid-September days, you were probably greeted by the sound of V12 engines firing up. Nothing unusual in that, as the Revival is the premier historic race meeting, but these were Rolls Royce Merlin-powered Spitfires accelerating down the grass runway that served as RAF Westhampnett in wartime, and around which was built a perimeter road that became a racetrack that still exists today.

A2Z Tops F5000 Again
Forty-two years after winning the 1969 SCCA Formula Continental Championship in Marvin Davidson’s Milestone Eagle, Tony Adamowicz is once again king of Formula 5000, having claimed victory in three of the five F5000 Drivers Association revival races to secure the 2011 crown. Driving the same 1969 Eagle Mark 5-Chevrolet he took to the title in ’69 (now owned by Doug Magnon), Adamowicz won at Watkins Glen, Mont Tremblant and Road America to amass sufficient points for both Class A (pre-’72 cars) and overall honors.
