The first ever 2CV race in the UK. Mallory Park 7th May 1989. A short clip of the practice session filmed from the hairpin entry then some of the race.

Its mental to see how much the racers have come on over the years. There so high for starters. So much lean on the corners.


Love the crowds reactions,

Cool Max!

I wonder if any of our members went to Mallory last weekend for the 20th anniversary of 2cv racing celebrations? Any pics?

(and well done Matt Hollis, who took a win!)

Oh that's excellent - much prefer that to the lowered cars used today.

I was there but unfortunately I didn't take any photos as I was too busy!

It was good racing though-very enjoyable.

Actually, I did take one photo but that was just of the latest craze of "Paratenting"!

Russell,
have to admit that I went, after being sent a ticket and told to lay off the
welding for the w/e by Tete Rouge Paul.
Actually, he was a lot ruder than that, but I'm glad that I went as it was
a superb event.

Don't forget that Sammy Fritchley became the first woman driver ever to
win a 2CV race.
There was quite a cheer went up along the pit wall when a spark plug blew
out of a certain car's engine and she took the lead...

Well done to Matt for holding his nerve during the longest spell of
tailgating/slipstreaming I've seen for a good while during a race.

No pics as I got roped into a bit of spannering, but those on the Race Club's
site are excellent, as always.
