Formula 2 Symposium with Derek Bell

This event will be hosted by Simon Taylor.

In the pipeline for nearly a decade, 2025 saw the publication of "Formula 2 – The Glory Years". The book celebrates the wonderful era of the European Formula 2 Championship, which began in 1967 and concluded in 1984. Formula 2 pitted emerging heroes against the greats of the day and in its earlier years virtually all the top F1 drivers — names like Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt, Ronnie Peterson and Bruce McLaren — battled with young chargers in races that thrilled huge crowds at the best European circuits. We welcome to Brooklands a panel of Formula 2 experts, drivers, engineers and journalists who covered this epic era of motorsport.

Double World Sportscar Champion and five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell will be part of the panel. Derek finished second in the 1970 European Formula 2 Championship driving a Brabham, and he also raced a works Ferrari in Formula 2.

Signed copies of the book will be available to purchase on the night.
