HSCC celebrates at Silverstone Classic

Fifty cars from across the HSCC’S race championships and series will take part in a 50th anniversary at the Silverstone Classic on Sunday.

To the fore will be club chairman Frank Lyons in his Formula 5000 Mcrae GM1, representing the Derek Bell Trophy. Lyons’ car is one of only around 15 cars built by New Zealander Graham Mcrae in 1972 and 1973.

Also on parade will be Charles Barter (’70s Road Sports Datsun 240Z), Simon Benoy (Historic Touring Car Hillman Imp), James Dean (’70s Road Sports Lotus Europa) and Tom Smith (Historic FF2000 Royale RP27).

All of them are former champions in their respective classes.
