Revamp for Sports Racing and V8s category
The long-running Sports
Racing and V8s series is being revamped for this year and is due to appear at a number of Classic
Sports Car Club meetings.
The category’s bosses had teamed up with Bernie Chodosh’s Bernie’s V8s division for the past few years, running with the 750 Motor Club. But now that Chodosh has formed a new Bernie’s V8s and Historic Outlaws series under Motorsport Vision Racing’s umbrella, Sports Racing and V8s has made a few tweaks.
“This year we’re racing mainly with the CSCC’S Special Saloons and Modsports,” said Cheng Lim, the category’s technical chief and also a racer in the series since it was founded in the 1980s. “We’re trying to keep the register going for the old SR-GT drivers and we will then try to have our own grids next year.”
As part of the CSCC collaboration, the series is due to feature at the new-look Oulton Park Gold Cup this year. But Bernie’s V8s and the Sports Racing and V8s contests are still set to share a grid at the Brands Hatch American Speedfest in June.
