Chief among them is the 2000 Arrows A21 that featured in the ‘Race to the City’ viral video launched some weeks ago.

The 800hp, 18,000rpm V10-powered car will be driven by rising local star Josh Kean. The Arrows is expected to challenge the Victoria Park Sprint circuit’s lap record of 43.28 seconds, set last year by Ivan Capelli in a Leyton House March approximately 10 years older than the Arrows.

The Arrows A21 was raced in 2000 by Jos Verstappen, father of current Red Bull Racing star Max Verstappen.

Also featuring at the festival will be the ex-Alan Jones Williams FW07-B of Pete Faulkner. Jones drove a Cosworth-Ford V8-powered FW07 Williams to victory in the 1980 World Drivers’ Championship.

The other two F1 cars featured in the ‘Race to the City’ film will also be on track, with Tim Slade driving the ex-Christian Fittipaldi 1994 Footwork FA15 and Cameron Waters to drive the turbocharged Benneton BMW B186, as raced by Gerhard Berger in 1986.

The Benetton will also be driven by Supercars legend Craig Lowndes.

In addition, local driver Brenton Griguol will race his 1988 Larrousse Lola LC88 Ford-Cosworth V8, and South African Andre Bezuidenhout will drive his ’89 model BMS Scuderia Italia Dallara F189.

John Bowe and car owner Joe Calleja will demonstrate an ex-Hans Stuck 1974-model March 741, Richard Lihou will drive a 1979 Tyrrell 009 Ford-Cosworth V8, and Gerry Duyvestyn will drive a 1970 March 701 Ford once raced by Mario Andretti.
