Historic Racing
Gary Watkins talks about the history of GT3 racing which incredibly celebrates its 20th birthday this year and… yes… there are now GT cars in historic racing! Martin Warner looks forward to the Shere Hill Climb which this year, amongst many other fabulous cars, will feature the ex-Stirling Moss/Rob Walker Ferrari 250 SWB.

John Fitzpatrick discusses his career, from the early days in a Mini, through the Broadspeed Anglias and Cologne Capris right up to running his own Porsche team. Alan Brewer tells Paul Tarsey about the plans for Goodwood to ‘cross the pond’ and how he will be very involved in setting up the new operation which will take much of the flavour of GRRC to the USA. Jim Roller digs into the auctions during Monterey Car Week and Paul Jurd looks back at the Festival of Speed.
Ross Brawn tells Paul Tarsey about the takeover of the Honda Grand Prix team, the creation of the Brawn F1 organisation and the subsequent fairytale World Championship with Jenson Button. And if you think that the British Grand Prix started at Silverstone; think again: The first ever BGP was at Brooklands 100 years ago, in 1926. Allan Winn from the Brooklands Museum will talk about the exciting plans they have to celebrate this important centenary. Paul Jurd looks back 100 years and brings us a race report from Brooklands and Jim Roller, Paul Jurd and Paul Tarsey discuss the reasons why Stirling Moss never won the World Championship. And we look forward to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Classic Nostalgia at Shelsley Walsh.
