    Historic Racing News: July 2026

    Ross Brawn tells Paul Tarsey about the takeover of the Honda Grand Prix team, the creation of the Brawn F1 organisation and the subsequent fairytale World Championship with Jenson Button. And if you think that the British Grand Prix started at Silverstone; think again: The first ever BGP was at Brooklands 100 years ago, in 1926. Allan Winn from the Brooklands Museum will talk about the exciting plans they have to celebrate this important centenary. Paul Jurd looks back 100 years and brings us a race report from Brooklands and Jim Roller, Paul Jurd and Paul Tarsey discuss the reasons why Stirling Moss never won the World Championship. And we look forward to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Classic Nostalgia at Shelsley Walsh.
