PIC: LAT ARCHIVE FROM THE ARCHIVE Mallory Park International 2000 Guineas – a storming Surtees is unstoppable Surtees’ Lola Mk4 on its way to victory MALLORY PARK’S TINY 1.35-MILE CIRCUIT IS NOT AN obvious candidate for grand prix racing, but it did once host topline Formula 1 cars – and we don’t mean the British Aurora series of the late 1970s and early ’80s. In June 1962 – the weekend between the Monaco and Belgian GPs – the Leicestershire track was the venue for the International 2000 Guineas F1 race. There were only 13 cars for the 75-lap event, but with generous prize money on offer no fewer than four past and future world champions were on the entry card. Predictably, it was this quartet who set the pace in practice. Jim Clark, only a week away from his first world championship race win in the new monocoque Lotus 25, set pole with a 51.0s lap. Jack Brabham, already a double world champion, was 0.6s behind Clark in his V8 Lotus, while Graham Hill completed a Lotus 1-2-3 with Rob Walker’s ex-Stirling Moss four-cylinder car. Fourth on the grid was former motorcycle king John Surtees in the Lola Mk4 with 52.6s. The four front-row starters would go on to win the next five F1 world titles between them. Surtees grabbed the lead initially from Brabham, while Hill soon overcame a fast-starting Masten Gregory to run in NEXT WEEK “Brabham was really pressing on, but Surtees was in dazzling form, giving a thumbs-up to team manager Reg Parnell every time he rocketed past the pits” third place. Clark struggled with his engine, and would make two stops to address a low-oil-pressure problem before calling it a day. Meanwhile, up at the front of the field, Surtees broke the lap record three times in four laps and opened a four-second gap over Brabham. “Jack Brabham was really pressing on, but Surtees was in dazzling form,” wrote AUTOSPORT’s Gregor Grant in his report. “He held his advantage with a thumbs-up to [team manager] Reg Parnell every time he rocketed past the pits. “He took a different line from anyone else on the downswoop from the hairpin to the pits, hugging the bank close as if on two wheels and holding the Lola almost in the centre of the road as he came out of the left-hander.” Despite a mid-race surge from Brabham, Surtees held firm and eventually won by 18.2s after the Lotus driver backed off in the closing stages. Hill was another 10s adrift, with everyone else coming home at least a lap down. Surtees finished off the day by taking third place in a Ferrari 250GTO in the GT race. He and the Lola would not score another victory together after the unlikely Mallory win, but within a year the Briton would be a factory Ferrari driver and on course for an F1 title. THE AUTOSPORT LEGENDS SERIES CONCLUDES We look back at the colourful career of the 1976 world champion FINAL DRIVE PHOTO FINISH THIS WEEK IN… JANUARY 17 1985 AUTOSPORT CARRIED A SPECIAL tribute to Mario Andretti, recently crowned Indycar champion for the fourth time after dominating the 1984 season. It was almost 20 years on from his first Indy-style title. As well as cementing his own legendary status, Andretti’s efforts were fundamental to the success of the Newman/Haas squad he had joined in its infancy. The team would go on to win 107 races – 18 courtesy of Andretti – before withdrawing from the series last year. A few thousand miles east, there was royalty of another kind on the Paris-Dakar trail as Monaco’s Prince Albert co-drove a private Mitsubishi Pajero. At the halfway stage the Japanese marque also held the top two spots, courtesy of Patrick Zaniroli and Andrew Cowan. JAMES HUNT January 17 2013 autosport.com 93
