Motor racing Legends: J.D classics challenge:
Motor Racing Legends launched an all-new race series for 2011, featuring Groups 1 and 2, and Group A Touring Cars, such as raced in the British and European Touring Car Championships between 1972 and 1985. The interest in the series was so great, that for 2012 the eligbility has been extended to include Touring Cars from 1966, bringing in Group 5 cars from this era.
In Europe, it was the era of TWR XJ-S and BMW 528, of Alfa GTV6, Audi Coupé and Ford Sierra XR4i, piloted in their day by such stars as Win Percy and Andy Rouse. Before that came the likes of Triumph Dolomite Sprint, BMW 3.0 CSL and Jaguar XJ 12C – not forgetting the evergreen Ford Capri. It’s a time that many of us remember clearly, and even more of us will be happy to see revived as a historic race series.
