A demonstration of 10 Historic Formula 1 cars will be staged at the Suzuka Circuit in Japan as part of the Richard Mille Sound of Engine event.

The Japanese Grand Prix venue will host the festival on November 18-19.

The cars, from Masters Historic Racing, will take part in a pseudo-qualifying session as the cars run one at a time in a time-attack format on the Saturday afternoon before two more 20-minute practice sessions.

Sunday features a 40-minute demonstration from a rolling start.

Masters will select 10 cars for the event, all running in period livery and illustrating a diverse range of cars from 1966-1985.

Cars are expected from Europe and the USA and a transport and travel package is available to those selected.

Masters' Ron Maydon said: "We are very proud to have been asked to put together this grid of cars.

"On the back of providing grids for Formula 1 support races we now have the chance to show the knowledgeable and enthusiastic Japanese fans some of the cars that have played such an important part in the history of F1.

"It is a major compliment to us and we will repay that by taking the best selection of cars that we can."
