And from the world of heritage Formula One comes an iconic name: John Player Special. Such was the financial support from JPS as Lotus F1 developed their 72 model that the cigarette company’s name took precedence over that of Lotus on the official Formula One entry lists thereafter. The 72 would go on to take three World Championships in five years, though may best be remembered as the car with which Jochen Rindt was posthumously crowned Champion in 1970.

A claxon resonating through parc ferme signaled that on-track demonstration runs were about to begin. Luke though had just enough time to click this Maserati 250F having a few moments of solitude before its time under the spotlight. There’s a lot of history in those scarlet panels. F1 legend Juan Manuel Fangio for example won two Grand Prix in the 250F and went on to take the 1954 World Championship. Though, granted, onboard a Mercedes.

Having sprinted to trackside, Luke managed to collar this Jaguar XJ12C Broadspeed. Now in terms of overall success, questionable reliability meant this particular Big Cat never got out of the starting blocks between 1976-77. They were however ridiculously fast thanks to the onboard 5.4l V12, which were capable of churning out 530hp. Throw a snazzy Leyland jacket on the brute and its fanbase was set for life.

Then there’s the late-1980s dominator of the touring car world, the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth. This particular model struggled during the 1989 British Touring Car Championship season, but by then the Sierra had already established itself as a future touring car legend. Andy Rouse – a four-time BTCC Champion – took over half of his 60 series victories aboard a Sierra.
