  1. Just to remind everybody that today (Saturday) 21st July 2007 is the 50th Anniversary of the first Formula 1 Grand Prix win for a British Car – The Place:Aintree; The Car:Vanwall VW1;The Drivers: Sir Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks. This was the beginning of todays 50 year dominance of the motor sport industry by British Companies which started with Tony Vandervell’s bank-rolling of the development of the Vanwall closely followed by Cooper, Lotus, BRM and as they say, the rest is history.
