The
roads between the trees and flower beds at Beveridge Park were mainly
used for motor cycle racing but in the early 50s 500cc cars were
raced.
The
legendary Ken Tyrrell is seen here in his F3 Cooper in 1953 at Beveridge
Park in Kirkcaldy. Ken was second in his first heat and then first
in one of the finals. Although a successful driver Ken realised his
talents
lay in the running of racing teams and in 1960 he formed the Tyrrell
Racing Organisation. Jackie Stewart won the F1 World Championship driving
for Tyrrell in 1969 and again in 1971 when Tyrrell also won the F1
Constructors Championship.
