Before we go back to the history, can we start with what it was like to drive the Toleman TG280 again after 40 years?
Derek Warwick, Toleman team driver: “I was stunned how comfortable I felt. I was almost flat through Copse. The car was amazingly balanced, and I was pushing it. Unfortunately, I only had a short run and I would have loved to go out again. It was so easy to predict what it was doing, there was no snappiness. Just a bit of understeer, but I think that was the tyres more than the car. I didn’t want to do it, to be honest. I know what I’m like and I know I will push too much too soon! But I was nowhere near its maximum, and I was on top of it. It’s put a big smile on my face.”
