No particular interest in that. Nothing to do with historic racing.

I imagine it'll be a UK based series, for me like most new historic race series this just adds yet more congestion with GT Cup, Masters GT Trophy and Legends grid, CSCC Slicks Series all catering for these cars They should focus on getting the MRL grids currently to better health tho hopefully its a success still. |

Seems like only yesterday. But it is a good point, should add, the first race is scheduled for the 19-20 October Silverstone event.
I must admit to liking these cars, the more recent incarnations have become too "supercar" for my taste hence I find British GT to be a bit tedious. But the Aston Martins, Porsches and Corvettes of the early noughties were much more pleasing to my eyes. |

Just to add, in 1976 I watched the HSCC running Lotus' 23s, Lister Knobblies etc. They were less than 20 years old at the time.

There is a grave danger that historic racing is now becoming a playground for rich, often elderly enthusiasts to drive cars that they lack the skill to drive fast.
WE used to complain about Judy Lyons but I suspect she would be competitive amongst some of the current back markers. It does not make for good spectating as the fields get so spread out quickly with decent drivers in older/slower cars taking ten seconds a lap out of the "gentlemen" drivers in potentially faster cars. Hoe some of these guys passed their ARDS test I do not know. |
