history
The name of the race goes back to a racing event that was held in Brooklands in the 1930s . The first International Trophy in August 1949 was also the first racing event ever on the airfield circuit. The track was only poorly secured, and Alberto Ascari clinched the victory for Scuderia Ferrari .
Initially, the race was advertised for Formula 1 vehicles. It did not have championship status at that time , i.e. H. the results he achieved were not taken into account either for the drivers or for the designers at the respective Formula 1 world championships . After the race initially took place in August, it was moved to the spring of 1951 and from then on, alongside the Race of Champions at Brands Hatch, was considered the most important Formula 1 race before the European races that did not belong to the world championship. In the early 1970s, the races for Formula 1 and Formula 5000 cars were announced. The last International Trophy that was organized under this rule took place in 1978 and ended with the victory of the Finn Keke Rosberg on a Theodore TR1 .
From 1979 the trophy was driven as a race of the Formula 2 European Championship . After the end of this championship in 1984 , it was an event of the newly created International Formula 3000 Championship from 1985 . The chaotic 37th International Trophy in 1985 was the first race in this series. When the GP2 series was introduced in 2005 , the trophy lost its championship status.
