On October 2nd, history has often been sealed on American soil. In this episode of Chequered Past, we revisit 1966 at Watkins Glen, where Jim Clark gave the BRM H-16 its one and only victory while Jack Brabham’s team clinched their first Constructors’ Championship. Eleven years later in 1977, James Hunt won the U.S. Grand Prix East, but the bigger story was Niki Lauda confirming his second world crown.
Along the way we detour to the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton’s title hopes went up in smoke and Nico Rosberg gained the upper hand, and back to the 1948 British Grand Prix, the first at Silverstone, where Maserati’s Villoresi and Ascari finished 1–2 and crowned the circuit as the new home of top-level motorsport.
From Constructors’ glory to comeback titles, from lost engines to landmark firsts, this episode shows how championships are often decided not just by points, but by the places and moments that make history.
