VSCC Spring Start (incl FISCAR's George Abecassis Centenary Trophy Race) 20/21 April
Those of you who purchase or read Autosport may have noted a small piece on page 85 of last Thursday's issue. The VSCC are expanding their popular Spring Start meeting at Silverstone to 2 days. The meeting will include a special one off sports car race to celebrate the centenary birth of the well- known British racing driver, the late George Abecassis, who was also co-founder of HWM. The race which has been put together by the combined efforts of George’s son, David, FISCAR and the VSCC is by personal invitation only and features classes for cars actually driven by George and those of a similar type, thus:
Class 1 – Alta and Alta engine HWM Sports cars Class 2 – HWM Jaguar sports cars Class 3 – Aston Martin DB2/3/3S Class 4 – Austin Healey 100s (100/4, 100M & 100s) Class 5 - Healey Silverstone It is particularly appropriate that amongst the entry list is George’s grandson/David’s son, Jonathan, in his Healey 100/4. This will be a rare mix of rare cars and we are hoping that it will provide a spectacular grid for this race which will take place on Saturday, 20th April. Alongside all the usual VSCC paddock displays we also hope to have a small selection of those ex Abecassis cars and HWMs that will be unable to race, and that this will also be a celebration of the HWM marque, too. This meeting should be one of the highlights of the coming historic racing season in the UK and the VSCC have organised this 2 day meeting to include:- The GP Itala and Lanchester Trophies Race for Vintage Racing Cars The Amschel Rothschild & Patrick Lindsay Memorial Trophies Race for front-engined Pre-1961 Racing Cars T The Fox & Nicholl Trophy Race for Standard & Modified Pre-war Sports-Cars The Silverstone Trophy Race for Special Pre-war Sports-Cars The VSCC Regularity Trial (30 minutes) Short Scratch and Short Handicap Races for Pre-war Cars HGPCA Pre-1966 Grand Prix Cars 1950s Sports Racing Cars HRDC pre-’65 historic GT and Touring cars The 500OA Commander Yorke Trophy Race Pre-war Aston Martin Race FJHRC Front-engined Formula Junior Race All in all it’s looking like a superb event. |
