Aston Club gets new support at events
Duncan Wiltshire and his Motor Racing Legends organisation will assist Aston Club Racing in running Aston Martin Owners’ Club meetings this year.
Motor Racing Legends already runs successful historic series such as the Stirling Moss Trophy and the Royal Automobile Club Woodcote Trophy. Wiltshire and his team will now help to organise the AMOC portfolio of categories that includes the Aston Martin GT Challenge, Intermarque, Innes Ireland Cup and 50s Sports Cars.
“It was too much work for us to support it and it just wasn’t viable,” said ACR director Roger Bennington. “So we’ve now got Duncan on board. He’s going to be the main pin and he will deal with the entry fees. I’m still going to be assisting him and I will be dealing with the GT and Intermarque series myself.
“Duncan’s expertise comes in the 1950s so he will look after the Innes Ireland and 50s Sports Cars, so between us we should be able to run the meetings with more cars. Duncan used to run an MG B himself in the Equipe GTS series last year, so he is familiar with a lot of people anyway.”
Bennington hopes that with Wiltshire’s support all of the categories can increase in numbers, after the club started to gain a few additional entries at the end of last year.
“I want to build up the GT side, we’ve got a class for homologated cars and an open class and I hope to build that up to 25 cars,” he added. “We’ve got a drivers’ meeting coming up in February so anyone interested can come along.”
