Grand Prix Centenary Vehicle List

This racer was created from the remains of two cars that were built by Austin to compete in the French Grand Prix of 1908.

Austin initially built a team of four cars to enter the race; two had chain drive and two had shaft drive. Both the shaft-driven cars crashed in practice and their parts were amalgamated to build a ‘fifth’ racing car.

A very rare example of Bugatti's early racing car, built in 1914 with lightweight coachwork.

1922 Grand prix sunbeam built for the 1922 french grand prix in Strasbourg. Car NO.1. driven by Henry Segrave in the beginning of his racing career.

The mighty 4-litre V12 Sunbeam Tiger was built in Wolverhampton during the 1920s as both a circuit racer and Land Speed Record contender. After debuting at Brooklands in 1925, Henry Seagrave drove Tiger to a new Land Speed Record of 152.33mph on Southport beach in March 1926 before returning the car to Brooklands competition.

Based near Paris, French manufacturer Delage was a dominant force in Grand Prix racing during the 1920s, winning both the 1926 and 1927 Grand Prix staged at Brooklands. Two magnificent 15-S-8s will return to celebrate the centenary of the first of those victories.

The Halford Special was a distinctive British racing car and one of just nine starters in the 1926 Grand Prix of the Royal Automobile Club. Built on an Aston Martin chassis, it was engineered and raced by Major Frank Halford, running comfortably inside the top three before retiring with transmission failure after 82 of the 110 laps.

Designed and built at Brooklands by pioneering Welsh engineer and racing driver John Godfrey Parry Thomas, the Thomas 'Flatiron' Special was entered for the 1926 Grand Prix but made its competition debut later that year.

Owned by the Louwman Museum in the Netherlands, this eight-cylinder Maserati 8C 3000 occupies a poignant place in motorsport history.

It was driven to third place in the 1933 Tripoli Grand Prix by Sir Henry ‘Tim’ Birkin, one of Britain's greatest pre-war racing drivers and a celebrated member of the legendary ‘Bentley Boys’.

The Mercedes-Benz W125 is one of the most legendary Grand Prix racing cars ever built. Introduced in 1937, it was powered by a supercharged 5.7-litre straight-eight engine producing around 595 horsepower, making it the most powerful Grand Prix car of its era.

Lovingly known as the ‘Alfetta’, the Alfa Romeo 158/9 is one of the most successful Grand Prix cars ever built.

Originally designed before the Second World War, it dominated the early years of the Formula One World Championship, winning 47 of its 54 Grand Prix starts. Its thunderous supercharged straight-eight engine remains one of historic motorsport's greatest auditory experiences.

This is a reconstruction 158 built by Jim Stokes Workshops of all original parts found in Italy.

Conceived as the ultimate showcase for British engineering by British Racing Motors, the BRM V16 remains one of motor racing's most unforgettable creations, celebrated as much for its astonishing soundtrack as its technical ambition.

Its supercharged 1.5-litre V16 engine developed more than 600bhp while producing a piercing, high-pitched scream unlike anything else in racing.

The Ferguson P99 4WD is one of the most remarkable machines in motorsport history. Developed by Harry Ferguson Research, it became the first four-wheel-drive car to win a Formula One race when Stirling Moss triumphed at Oulton Park in 1961. It also holds the distinction of being the last front-engined Formula One car to win a race.

The Ferrari 156 "Sharknose" is one of Formula One's most iconic racing cars, instantly recognisable by its distinctive twin-nostril nose. Driven to the 1961 World Championship, it became a symbol of Ferrari's early Grand Prix success.

The Surtees TS7 is far more than a Formula One racing car – it is the embodiment of one of motorsport's greatest achievements. Designed, built and raced by John Surtees, the TS7 was his eponymous team’s first F1 car and made its Formula One debut at the 1970 British Grand Prix, reflecting the determination and engineering vision of its remarkable creator.

The March 701 marked Ken Tyrrell's first Formula One car after the end of his successful partnership with Matra. Entered by Tyrrell Racing Organisation – based locally in Ockham, Surrey – for the 1970 season, the Cosworth DFV-powered 701 was driven by Jackie Stewart and Johnny Servoz-Gavin. Stewart claimed the car's maiden victory at the Spanish Grand Prix and added another win at Monaco, keeping Tyrrell firmly among Formula One's leading teams while laying the foundations for the championship-winning Tyrrell cars that followed.

Local Formula One team McLaren Racing is a major supporter of the Brooklands Centenary celebrations. Alongside one of its latest papaya-liveried hybrid Formula One cars raced by reigning World Champion Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, the team will also demonstrate the unforgettable Honda V12-powered MP4/6 on the Mercedes-Benz World circuit.

Following Honda's surprise withdrawal from the sport at the end of 2008, Ross Brawn purchased the team for just £1. Despite limited resources, Brawn GP produced a revolutionary car featuring the now-famous double diffuser, giving it a decisive competitive advantage.

Jenson Button won six of the opening seven races on his way to securing the Drivers' Championship, while Brawn GP claimed the Constructors' Championship in its only season before being sold to Mercedes. Just three BGP 001 chassis were built for Button and team-mate Rubens Barrichello – and all three will be reunited at Brooklands.
