Most race fans will be aware that Bernie Ecclestone did some racing in the early to mid 1950's, even taking part in two World Championship Grand Prix practice sessions.
However he had one 'last fling' in Formula Junior racing.
He took part in the 1961 Anerley Trophy, Formula Junior race held at Crystal Palace on 22nd May 1961, driving an Elva 200-Ford car.
Details: Race no 54. Qualified 14th, retiring after 5 laps (out of 20).
Amongst his competitors that day were four drivers who would make it into WC Grand Prix's - these being Frank Gardner,Denis Hulme, Mike Parkes and Alan Rees.
Was this Bernie's last race?. I cannot find any later dates.
