A celebrity race is a frequent feature at the famous Silverstone Classic historic gathering. And the 2012 version, for Morgans, was special to our readers’

Q&A guest this week, British GT champion Kelvin Fletcher. Contrary to some belief it wasn’t Fletcher’s very first motor race, but it was one of his first. And he won, beating the likes of Brian Johnson and Jay Kay.

And Morgan Motor Company’s YouTube channel has an account of this celebrity event, that you can watch at: youtube.com/ watch?v=4Hq3eMPqjgM or from searching ‘Morgan Celebrity Charity Race Silverstone Classic

2012 EXCLUSIVE!’

The video focuses on capturing the atmosphere rather than offering much account of the race itself, but

YouTube can also help supplement our understanding, in audio form. In a separate video Fletcher talks to another from the celebrity race, Dave Vitty (better known as ‘Comedy Dave’ to the Chris Moyles fans among you) and Jason Plato in the ‘Fuelling Around’ podcast.

Fletcher talks about the race, how he got onto its grid, plus is illuminating about his first steps in racing for himself in a Mini that year. This is at: youtube.com/watch?v=Imxo7uWnbQ or from searching ‘Kelvin Fletcher’s racing debut STUNS presenter Dave Vitty!’
