BUMPER ENTRIES FOR FIRST CMMC MEETING
Mallory park event will be first for new club since ms a recognition
The Classic and Modern Motorsport Club’s first official meeting will take place this weekend with bumper grids for the majority of races.
The Classic and Modern Motorsport Festival will take place on Sunday at Mallory Park, with a number of races being held by the CMMC.
The Motorsports School Sports Saloon Challenge will feature 18 cars including four Ariel Atoms, Mazda MX-5S, two Citroen C1s and a Triumph Spitfire amongst others.
Eighteen cars will also compete in the British Thoroughbred Sports/ Saloon/gt and the Classic Car Challenge – including a Jaguar XJ12 and XJS, Morgan +8, five MGBS and a Triumph GT6 from Australia.
The meeting will also feature motorcycle racing and a host of guest championships from established clubs like the Historic Sport Car Club.
Richard Culverhouse, founder of the CMMC and formerly of the Classic Sports Car Club said: “People don’t want to see the same make of cars go around: there are plenty of one-make series.
“It’s a real clubby meeting and it’s grown from last year [which was organised by the 360 Motor Racing Club]. We couldn’t get the bikes on board [last year] but we’ve got a full grid of 30 and 500cc F3 cars instead of the Formula Fords.”
A full grid is expected for the HSCC’S 70s Road Sports and almost 20 cars for the Historic Road Sports series.
The CMMC also plans to hold a meeting at Snetterton in September, which will include a one-off race for powerful production-based cars, with the aim of creating a new series in 2019 if there’s enough interest.
