1983 Race of Champions
Encyclopedia
The 1983 Race of Champions
was a non-championship Formula One
race held at Brands Hatch
on April 10, 1983. It was also the last non-championship F1 race to be held in the sport's history. It was won by the reigning world champion Keke Rosberg
in the Williams FW08
, who narrowly beat Danny Sullivan
in his Tyrrell
. Former world champion Alan Jones
finished third in his last drive for Arrows
.
in preparation for the upcoming French Grand Prix
. However, there were two drivers present who did not take part in that year's championship: Brian Henton
, who drove a Theodore
, and Hector Rebaque
, who drove a Brabham. The Spirit
team also made its F1 debut at the event with Stefan Johansson
and Honda's first turbo-charged
F1 engine. Over at the Tyrrell
team, number one driver Michele Alboreto
was scheduled to race, but it became apparent that he had a prior commitment to race for Lancia
at Monza
in the World Endurance Championship, so number two Danny Sullivan
received a last-minute call-up to replace him.
Eleven teams took part, but only Arrows
and Theodore entered more than one car. Brabham elected not to use either of its regular drivers (Nelson Piquet
and Riccardo Patrese
), hence Rebaque's presence (he had driven for the team in ), whilst Lotus
used the event as an opportunity to familiarise Nigel Mansell
with the turbo-charged Renault
engine it had so far limited to its other driver Elio de Angelis
. Of the thirteen cars, four were turbos, although the more powerful engines were not expected to provide too much of an advantage due to the twisty nature of the circuit.

, also held at Brands Hatch. René Arnoux
was less than one tenth of a second behind in his Ferrari
, and Alan Jones
took an encouraging third place in his continuing comeback from retirement with Arrows. Behind John Watson
's McLaren, Sullivan qualified in fifth place despite suffering from jet lag
, as he had only arrived in the United Kingdom
from the United States
the day before the track action began. The two Theodore drivers proved evenly matched in sixth and seventh, with Henton outpacing regular driver Roberto Guerrero
. Mansell qualified eighth with his first taste of a turbo engine in competitive conditions; he was followed by Raul Boesel
in the Ligier, Rebaque's Brabham and Chico Serra
in the other Arrows. Johansson set the second-fastest time in untimed practice, but suffered reliability problems in qualifying proper, restricting him to a single lap and 12th place on the grid in a difficult début for the Spirit team, but he still lined up ahead of Jean-Louis Schlesser
, who failed to record a lap time for RAM March
. The Spirit Honda again proved its speed in the race morning warm-up where Johansson reportedly was among the quickest on the circuit with times within one to two seconds of Arnoux's turbocharged Ferrari.
of the race as consolation. Watson, Rebaque and Serra also retired from the race.
At around half-distance of the forty-lap race, Rosberg also began to suffer from tyre wear, particularly to his left-rear. Sullivan was using a softer-compound set of tyres, but had "scrubbed" them in the pre-race warm-up and had no such problems. For the final fifteen laps, he was right behind Rosberg, but never managed to overtake the Williams. Despite running side-by-side at places on the last lap, Rosberg held on to win from Sullivan, with Jones half a minute behind in third. Henton, Boesel, and the lapped Schlesser and Guerrero completed the finishers.
Rosberg would later add the championship Monaco Grand Prix
to his victory haul in 1983, but the other finishers would not approach their results at this race in any other F1 Grand Prix in 1983. As the World Championship had become ever-more important in the scheme of Formula One, the 1983 Race of Champions remains the final non-championship race to have been held in the sport's history.
