The first BRDC International Trophy meeting formally titled the Daily Express International Trophy was held on 20 August 1949 at the Silverstone Circuit England. It was the first race meeting to only use the former airfield’s perimeter roadways rather than the main runways. The event was held over two heats of 20 laps and one final of 30 laps of the Grand Prix circuit. The final was won by Italian Alberto Ascari who would go on to win the Formula One World Championship twice.
