The Warren – Reincarnated at Race Retro

Visitors to Race Retro next 2017 will not only have a chance to see a variety of older exotic machinery on display, but also a live build by the 750 Motor Club of a significant car from 750 Formula – one of the oldest race formulae in the world.

‘The Warren’ was designed for 750 Formula by Jerry Evershed, and had instant championship success in the hands of Robin Smyth. Initially distinguished by extra-long front radius rods and a stack of four vertically-protruding exhaust pipes, it was The Warren’s supercharged engine – mounted at the rear of the car – that made the biggest impact.
