The Jaguar FV10 F1 car will be at Brands Hatch

For the first time in over 10 years a contemporary Formula 1 car will take to the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit at the Masters Historic Festival this May Bank Holiday weekend (25/26 May).

The 2004 Jaguar R5 – driven in its heyday by Mark Webber and Christian Klien – will be performing demonstration laps at the Kent circuit during the lunchbreak on both Sunday and Monday.

The car is run by FV10 in partnership with engine specialists Cosworth, which gives amateur racing drivers a once in a lifetime chance to purchase and drive their own modern Formula 1 car.

The Jaguar R5 will be driven by FV10 test driver and former British F3 champion Marc Hynes.
