This is one of three Surtees TS9's that competed in the Force Pre-1972 Grand Prix Car Race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2002.
It's the 1971 Surtees TS9B of Peter Austin, chassis TS9/004, that was raced by the Surtees team in the 1971 and 1972 seasons, being uprated from a TS9 to a TS9B before the start of the 1972 season. The Surtees TS9 was powered by the 2,993cc Ford Cosworth DFV V8 engine and was not particularly successful, the best result being Mike Hailwood's second place in the 1972 Italian Grand Prix.
