This car took part in the HGPCA Pre-1952 Grand Prix Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998.
It's the 1948 Gordini T15 of John
Foster, with a 1,430cc 4-cylinder inline Simca-based engine. The T15 took part
in World Championship Grand Prix races from 1950 to 1953, with a supercharged
engine in 1950 and 1951, and without the supercharger in 1952 and 1953 when
races were run with the Formula 2 limit of 2 litres. In the 1952 and 1953
seasons the works Gordini team used the updated Gordini T16, but the T15 was
still used by some private entrants.
