Set up has started at @goodwoodrevival! Here’s a little sneak peak of what arrived yesterday. We have 5 cars participating in the Whitsun, Glover and Richmond and Gordon Trophy’s. As well as 2 cars out in the John Surtees parade, celebrating 60 years since his first Formula 1 World Championship. #SurteesTs8 #Lotus30 #Lotus24

Today we came one step closer to completing this long term nut and bolt restoration of the ex Mike Hailwood Surtees TS8 chassis 005. This has been a carefully executed project in the making of restoring the car to period specification. You’ll be able to see this car this weekend at @goodwoodrevival in the Surtees parade driven by the owner David and our very own @the_official_pombear amongst our other stunning collection of cars on track! See you there!

This weekend we are at Paul Riccard for the Peter Auto hosted “Dix Mille Tours” supporting Ivan Ivanov and Ed Morris in the Lotus 26R. We start our 2 hour night race 3rd in the GTS class. At 8:20pm local time the lights go out and the sun goes down! 🌒

3 in a row 🏆! Winning Monaco and then winning our class at Sicily and this weekend with @mastershistoricracing Ron Maydon took his Lec CRP1 to class victory finishing P7 Overall. We love racing at Brands Hatch and seeing all the teams hard work pay off with another class win is the best feeling. #ronmaydon #mastershistoricracing #f1 #formula1 #dfv #davidpurley #laurels #winner #bigdaddy #mastershistoricracing #MirageEngineering #teamwork

Back to Back 🏆. Were in Sicily with the @hgpcaofficial and @historicformulajunior. Katsu qualified 6th overall and first in class in James Hagans Lotus 18 due to gearbox problems in his 24. After a great battle and @f00tsoldier leading the way for most of the race @katsukubota slipped by at the end to win the class, great racing from all involved. And the formula junior race we qualified 5th and finished as we started after a lot of close racing #formula1 #formulaone #hgpca #lotus #hgpca #racingcarsofinstagram #racewinner #allidoiswin #teamwork #Dreamteam

Our second win 🏆of the weekend came from James Hagan in his Lotus 18 powered by a 1500cc Coventry climax 4cyl engine. James started the race in p12 ahead of some of the faster v8 cars and finished in p9 overall and an impressive 1st in class. He didn't put a wheel wrong all weekend in this car, and winning this class at Monaco has been a long time coming for him #JamesHagan #f1 #monacohistoricgrandprix #montecarlo #dangurney #lotus #grandprix #winner #teamwork

Cars all set ready for race day here in Monte Carlo. James in the 18 qualified 12th for race B while Katsu in the 24 will start 13th. The team worked miracles by flying our gearbox parts from the UK and with the help from @pdsracing were up and ready to go. The 72 will start from the front row in P2 again all repaired after our incident with the wall. The James Hunt Hesketh will start 14th which the Lec also lines up in P14. Couldn't do this without all the guys and girls who have done An amazing job to get the cars back up running again with many long hours of work to reach the race start. #f1 #formula1 #monacohistoricgrandprix #montecarlo #lotus72 #jameshunt #lec #lotus #grandprix #teamwork #Dreamteam #MirageEngineering @senten_images_ for the best photos

This car has undergone a full rebuild and refresh over the winter with fresh crack testing, gearbox rebuild, engine rebuild all ready for the 2024 season of racing.

OTD in 1974 at the Silverstone International Trophy James Hunt enjoyed his first ever F1 race victory from pole position. The race In question was a 40 lap non championship event where Jochen Mass finished second and Jean-Pierre Jarier third. We aren't sure that these cars were ever expected to be here 50 years later, let alone raced and enjoyed as much as we still do. This car will be celebrated for all of its achievements and success at @silverstonecircuit on the 20th of April with an appearance from Lord Hesketh and a collection of other influential Hesketh team members. #hesketh #jameshunt #f1 #formula1 #otd #grandprix #racewinner #success #dfv #racecar #classicformula1

While we're testing f1 cars at Home, Darren and Luke are out in Mugello looking after Ivan in his original Lotus Elan 26r. A lot of hard work is going on both in the UK and Europe this week, but the boys are starting the race tomorrow from P2 in class let's see if we can turn this qualifying result into the first trophy of the season #lotus #elan #26r #racecar #historicracing #teamwork #carsofinstagram #mugellocircuit

A lot of work in these, this is a nosebox we made for a Mclaren Mp4/1. All the swages and holes were all knocked over and formed by hand. Coated prior to solid riveting and glueing to match the period original box we had to copy. A lot of this fabrication we undertake in house #mclaren #mp4 #f1 #formula1 #johnwatson #dfv #fabrication #lesGreyfabs #contactusformp4noseboxes

Hesketh 308-1, one of our favourite cars in the workshop. Famously, the car which gave James Hunt his first win in a formula 1 car in 1974 at the international trophy. #hesketh #jameshunt #formula1 #f1 #dfv #racecar #fast #v8 #racinghistory

Waking up the neighbours with the Osella FA1-D, we've spent this winter providing some love and attention to this car in means of updating the roll over protection, refreshing crack testing, a full nut and bolt rebuild and a well deserved diet! We're excited to see this one out soon. You can see the Osella on track soon at Monaco and then the rest of the season with @mastershistoricracing #dfv #osella #v8 #f1 #historocracing #racecars #caroftheday #loud

A few more photos from todays fun at goodwood. Showing the 72 some love. Racing 30s and fixing gearboxes #goodwoodrevival #lotus #lotus72 #formula1 #formulaone #lotus30 #gearbox #hotwood #luke #darren

First of our races complete today in the Lotus 30. Katsu had a fantastic race and unfortunately on the last corner of the last lap the engine failed. Some things aren't meant to be! Still we started 10th and were due to finish 7th so car and driver both had pace. We also stretched the legs of the 72 in the demo. We have 2 races tomorrow with 3 cars. #goodwoodrevival #goodwood #lotus #onlyjuiceandmilkcomein2litres #v8 #30 #jcb #racingcarsofinstagram

Day 2 of goodwood saw all cars qualifying. And a run out in the 75 years of lotus parade. Privileged to be here with with such a prestigious collection of cars at such a fantastic event @goodwoodrevival #goodwood #goodwoodrevival #racecars #lotus #formulaone #fastcars #teamwork #internationalincident

We're here at @goodwoodrevival all set up ready for our first day on track tomorrow. We have 5 cars we're looking after in 3 different races and one for the demonstration. Can't wait to get out racing at one of the best most anticipated race events of our season. #goodwood #goodwoodrevival #lotus #colinchapman #jimclark #dangurney #johnplayerspecial #racecar

5 cars, 4 drivers, 2 engine changes, and 1 outstanding team. @silverstonefestival was a tough event having the odds against us in 2 unavoidable engine failures on track with debris through the radiator of the junior causing it to seize then an unfortunate spin and over rev in James's Lotus 18 put us on the back foot, just a quick 6 hour trip to collect spares from other cars saw us out again. It didn't stop there with metering unit issues causing the tyrrell of @kyle_tilley to have an intermittent problem stopping us from achieving the results we deserved having the pace we did. The guys really pulled out the stops to keep the cars running on track. Couldn't have made any of it happen without the people we had around us that weekend. Even on low sleep and long days, we still came away laughing. Shoutout to everyone who was a part of it. @mastershistoricracing @formulajuniorracing @hgpcaofficial #huckleberrykeef #formulaone #f1 #racecars #fastcars #chickenbucket #jameshunt #dangurney #lotuscars #dog #elan #grandprix

First day is complete here at @circuitzandvoort with @mastershistoricracing. With a busy qualifying session with 29 cars fighting for the position, James put in the work to start the first race in p13. After a quick turnaround and great effort from the team today to give James the car to fight his way up the field in the race. James managed to turn the p13 start into a p10 overall finish, which left him p6 in class. We have another 2 races left this weekend so more to come!
