Historic F2 set to return to a European schedule this year
Historic Formula 2 racers are raring to tackle their first European season since 2019 following the unveiling of the Historic Sports Car Club’s calendar of six double-header events.
Historic F2 was torpedoed by the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions of the past two years, effectively scaling it back to a British domestic series, but the 2022 schedule – 50 years since Mike Hailwood won the European title in John Surtees’s eponymous TS10 chassis powered by Hart BDA engines – also visits venues in Germany and France.
The starting point is the Jim Clark
Revival at Hockenheim on 6-8 May.
Paul Ricard’s Historique Grand Prix de France (17-19 June) is followed by two home events in July: the HSCC’S Legends of Brands Hatch Super Prix (9-10) and Oulton Park Gold Cup (29-31). Nurburgring’s AVD Oldtimer GP (12-14 August) and Dijon’s Motors Cup (7-9 October) round the programme off.
“Getting back to our European dates with all our racing friends is our main ambition for 2022,” said HF2 chair
Roger Bevan. “We can’t wait to get back to some of the best tracks in
Europe and have two excellent UK dates to complete a great package.”
