Mike Donovan was thundering round in a Lola T70 at the 50th Anniversary Meeting but 25 years earlier at the Silver Jubilee meeting no fewer than seven T70s took on David Piper's Porsche 917K , a 906 and 910 of the same make , Ferrari 330 GTO , 275 LM , 330 P2 , 365 P1 , a Ford P68 , a Lotus 40 , a Willment BRM , a pair of AC Cobras and last but not least the winning 5 litre V8 powered Matra MS650 of Mike Knight in the International Sports Prototype race . An amazing sight and sound especially when they came past the Grandstands on their way to the rolling start .
According to Autosport Bill Coombs is looking to make a historic meeting an annual feature of Thruxton's fixtures . With a bit of luck maybe the FIA Masters Sportscars could be persuaded to visit .
