The ever-popular and rejuvenated Heritage Grand Touring Car Challenge visits the Oulton Park circuit on 22nd October for 75 minutes of racing, with beautifully prepared evocative classics from the sixties and seventies a period when cars had more power than grip.
The grid is made up of powerful favourites such as Astons, Sunbeam Tiger, V8 Mustangs, Porsche 911, Cobra and a V8 MGB boasting upto and in some cases over 600bhp so the racing is always an exciting spectacle especially when you consider these cars are competing on 'road legal tyres'!
Thats not to say the V8 beasts always have it their own way Joss Ronchetti will be partnering his well known flier the 'bullet' with famous Historic racer Barry 'Whizzo' Williams which has been a winner this year and regularly features on the podium as have some of the rapid Mk1 escorts which often are a feature of the Heritage races especially if rain appears as it may well at this time of year. The BDG escorts of Laki Christoforou and Sean and Robert Brown are often close and always a spectator favourate. One you may recognise is the Italian Job car which was prepared for Jeremy Clarkson and features in one of his DVD's.
The Heritage cars are not only beautifully prepared but the relatively free regulations means that these are probably the fastest Historic GT cars competing in the UK, so fast most have achieved wins and podium finishes in other series and championships.
There will be some very close battles throughout the field and no more so than in classes D and E, where respectively six and eight highly and fully modified 1960 and 1970s classics will do battle - they should be fascinating to watch..
There will be two races, a 45 minute and a thirty minute endurance style races with all cars required to make a pit stop between 20 and 30 minutes. This adds to the excitement as teams try to time their pit stop to gain maximum advantage.
Previous HGTCC podium finishers such as , Jackie Cochrane Jonathan Fildes, Cheng Lim, John Dickson, John Wilson, John Taylor and Joss Ronchetti will be ensuring a very competitive weekend but also look out for spectators and competitors favourites, the Aston DB4 of Alan Hudd and 911 turbo of Tony Jardine.
