Cheshire cats de la Roche and Musgrave grin after Silverstone Historic F3 thrillers

Silverstone’s 1.64-mile National Circuit is challenging to master consistently. High-speed Copse corner and Woodcote reward the brave, but Becketts hairpin - with exit speed onto the Wellington Straight crucial - Brooklands and Luffield compress packs, often undoing hard work, particularly in traffic. With 315 entries across 23 races, last weekend’s Historic Sports Car Club Championship Finals event featured remaining title winners being crowned and ultra-close finishes. Epic Formula Ford action is a given, but a brilliant Historic One-Litre F3 finale, in which outgoing champion Peter de la Roche aced fellow Cheshire man Ollie Musgrave by 0.042 seconds, was sensational.
