The 3rd BRDC International Trophy meeting was held on 5 May 1951 at the Silverstone Circuit, England.

The race was run to Formula One regulations, and was held over two heats of 15 laps each, followed by a final race of 35 scheduled laps.

However, the race was stopped after just six laps due to torrential rain and flooding.

British driver Reg Parnell, driving a Ferrari 375, was declared the winner.
