Saturday 29th May 1954
Stirling Moss and Reg Parnell won races during the first motor racing event at the new Aintree circuit, near Liverpool. The circuit was located within the famous Aintree Racecourse and used the same grandstands as horse racing. Built in 1954 as the “Goodwood of the North”, the circuit hosted the Formula One British Grand Prix five times in 1955, 1957, 1959, 1961 and 1962.
