This car competed in the HGPCA Race for Pre-1966 Grand Prix Cars at the HGPCA's International Historic Grand Prix meeting at Donington Park in May 2004.
It's the 1962 ATS 100 GP, entered for the race by Bruce Shipman and driven by Jason Wright. Designed by former Ferrari chief engineer Carlo Chiti, it was the only F1 car produced by ATS. Phil Hill and Giancarlo Baghetti were the drivers, and the cars only started in five Grand Prix races (all in 1963), both cars retiring in the Belgian, Netherlands, USA and Mexican races, and finishing in eleventh and fifteenth places respectively in the Italian Grand Prix.
Here's Jason Wright at the Old Hairpin, leading the 1961 1½ litre Lotus 18 of Mark Griffiths.
On 16 January 2016 I showed a photograph of an ATS 100 at Donington Park in 2005.
