The headlining Formula 1 cars hitting the event include the returning two Ferrari F156/85’s with the number 28 once again driven by none other than the pilot who raced in that car itself in Stefan Johansson, the highly-popular Adrian Newey-designed 1989 Leyton House March CG891, the Lola Larrousse LC88, Alan Jones’ 1985 Haas Lola THL1, the 1994 Arrows Footwork FA15 and the powerful 1.5 turbocharged Benetton B186.

Newest additions to the event are the Ross Brawn-designed 1988 Arrows Megatron A10B, the pair of 1989 Brabham BT58’s Judd’s who were driven by Martin Brundle and Stefan Modena and the 1992 Brabham BT60 Judd V8.
