FORMULA 1 HIT THE STREETS OF LONG BEACH AFTER 40 YEARS
Words and Images by: Brandon O'Brien
After an absence of 40 years, Formula 1 cars took to the streets of Long Beach. Not to be confused with the current generation of F1 cars (you need to go to Las Vegas for those) these were some of the very same cars that competed in Long Beach from 1978 - 1983. Twenty-one entries were signed up to participate in the Historic Motor Sports Association (HMSA) F1 Challenge.
