AUSTRALIAN INDYCAR driver James Davison will go back in time when he contests the Masters FIA Historic Formula 1 Championship races at Silverstone in support of the British Grand Prix on July 12-14.

The grandson of four-time Australian Grand Prix winner Lex and cousin to Supercars driver Will and former Porsche Carrera Cup driver Alex, will compete against the likes of former Formula 1 race winner Johnny Herbert in two 25-minute races.

Davison will drive a Lotus 81 owned by Andrew Beaumont in Essex livery and will be up against Herbert in a Ensign N180B.

The chassis was raced by Marc Surer and the late-Jim Crawford in can-am form with former Force India team manager Bob Fernley now owning the car he worked on 35 years ago.
