Glover Trophy highlights

The Glover Trophy is for Formula 1 Grand Prix cars from the 1.5-litre era. These are the cars driven in period by the likes of Jim Clark, John Surtees and Graham Hill. Comfortably pre-dated the era of aerodynamic aids, their basic cigar shaped forms allow for close racing. The Glover Trophy always delivers, with Lotuses, Brabhams and Coopers all vying for victory alongside marques that appear in smaller numbers. 

Glover Trophy Office Practice

The 20-minute Official Practice session for the Glover Trophy saw Lukas Halusa take pole in his Brabham-Climax BT7, but it didn’t come easy. Early on it was the Lotus-Climax 21 of Stuart Hall on top with Philipp Buhofer’s BRM P261 and Mark Shaw’s Lotus-Climax 21 behind in second and third respectively. But as the session progressed there was plenty of chopping and changing in the top 10. With 12 minutes to go it was Halusa who took provisional pole by 1.9 seconds, and only two minutes later Hall put in a lap just 0.038 seconds slower.

It looked for a moment as though Hall would be on for pole if he could pull together another solid lap, but less than a minute later the now third-place Buhofer came into the side of Geoff Underwood’s Cooper-Ford T56 coming into St. Mary’s. While both cars were able to continue, the red flag came out as Kurt Delbene’s BRP-BRM haulted on-track. The session cut short, it was Halusa in pole position, followed by Hall and Buhofer.
