Season
opener at Donnington Park 6th April
Welcome to new HRS competitor, Richard Plant in his Morgan +8 who impressed with a win on his debut outing. |
||||

Off to a bumper start at Donington… Despite the threat of snow, a cracking grid of 35 cars was a great start to the HRS season. As well as the usual suspects, we welcomed newcomers Tim Pearce in a +8 Morgan, Steve Hodges in his Lotus 7, Roger Waite in the ex Paul Tooms Elan, and Sam Thomas, driving a beautifully turned out AC Aceca on behalf of one of his customers. We also benefitted from the support of some very nice metal bodied 2 litre cars from the Guards Trophy. All in all a spectacular and well turned out grid we can all be proud of. |
