NATIONAL ACES HONOURED

National racing stars of the 1960s and 1970s, Peter Baldwin and Jon Fletcher, have both lent their support to the Historic Sports Car Club’s new Historic Saloons and Modsports series. Saloon drivers will compete for the Peter Baldwin Trophy to honour the Mini ace, while Modsports competitors will battle for the Jon Fletcher Trophy, named after the Lotus Elan victor. Twenty drivers registered their interest in racing in the new category within the first week of the series’ announcement.
