Masters Historic Racing concluded its 2024 season at Mugello, returning to the Tuscan track after an 11-year absence. The Masters Racing Legends for F1 cars from the 3-litre era were once again the main act, this time with the 1982 Tyrrell 011 in a starring role, as the car not only won both races, but also locked out the Saturday podium. Ken Tyrrell won this race ahead of Matthew Wrigley and Jamie Constable, but on Sunday Tyrrell handed over his title to Wrigley, who finished the season with a victory.

Olivier Hart was the star of the weekend at the Silverstone Festival, as the young Dutchman won both races in which he was entered in grand style, first sharing a Ferrari 512M with father David on their way to victory in the Masters Sports Car Legends race, while in the final race of the event, the International Trophy for pre-66 GT cars, Hart and his rival Julian Thomas produced the best race of the season in a 20-minute duel at the front of the field. The two Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupés were separated by just three tenths at the finish. The biggest regular historic festival of the season was marred by persistent rain on Saturday, but the sunny weather of qualifying day returned on Sunday.

The reign of Maseratis and Alfas might have ended in Europe at the end of the 1950s, but in South America the supremacy of front-engined cars would continue for a few more years, before finally succumbing to the impetus of modernity. However, in their second life as racing cars, these vehicles would greatly enhance the history of Latin American motorsport, in one of its richest and also forgotten chapters. This is the history of the South American Triangular championships, an era in which F1's past and present converged, providing the last gasp of a golden era of motorsport. Lorenzo Baer reports about a fascinating and very peculiar championship.
