Saturdays format is Qualifying, then 2 races, Sunday 2 races.
Last time we had 3 X 8 laps, bit tiring for some of the fellas , so we are having 4 X 6 lap races
There will be some gaps between the races where there will be some of our original owners reunited with their cars , non racing Historic cars and guest drivers having demos
For the Monza fans who fondly remember Red Dawson in his IMSA Monza, and have missed seeing one of these exquisite cars,Roger Williams will be running his at the only speed he drives at...it will be exciting

Hi John, would you mind including the cars alongside the drivers? Many I know, but some I don't.

Love this facebook quote from Stu who sums up the excitement for our group-
"God those cars from that era looked so good
I loved the flared guards and fat rims and the ability to be able to fit a big V8 into some impossibly small areas from that era of Motorsport"
