Sports-racers and GTs to entertain the masses at Silverstone

Pre-74 Sports Racing and GT cars will feature at the British Grand Prix meeting at Silverstone after agreement was reached for the Historic Sports Car Club to organise a non-championship support race to British motorsport’s flagship event on June 9-11.

The emphasis will be on larger capacity cars and a full grid of more than 40 cars is expected, with Ford GT40s, Chevrons and Lola T70s all likely to be racing. Already intending to enter is Jon Minshaw, with the ex-Denny Hulme Lola T70 spider in which Colin Blower won the support race at the 2004 British GP.
