It's a dim and distant memory - but if it serves me correctly, when I went to the Gold Cup - sometime in the early to mid '70's - it was a mixed F1 and F5000 grid. The F1 cars were current GP cars and the Gold Cup along with the Race of Champions at Brands were non-championship races which most of the manufacturers - notable exception being Ferrari - usually entered.
What I do remember though, was seeing those cars blast down the long straight and through the fast right hander that was Knicker Brook (no chicane then) and then the slight left hander up the hill and under the bridge towards Druids. Now that was exciting!!!
