Once won by James Hunt, it will be interesting to see which modern-day drivers will give it a go.
The historic event, won by 1976 F1 champion James Hunt over 50 years ago, will make a remarkable comeback next year with the ‘Rewind Tour Britain’ from May 27-30, 2027.
This new three-day event will merge circuit racing and rallying, inspired by the 1973 original where Hunt emerged victorious.
Organisers Motor Racing Legends and the British Automobile Racing Club stress that this event is not a nostalgic revival or historical re-enactment, but a modern competition with a twist from past British motorsport.
Combining rally stages, circuit races, and long-distance road challenges into one seamless event, it aims to push boundaries within current safety and operational standards.
With up to 80 historic race and rally cars competing over 460 miles on asphalt, the event will conclude with a special stage at Blenheim Palace, offering a unique and challenging experience for drivers and fans alike.
