The Joy of Racing in the Rain: The HSRCA’s Historic Winter

Submitted by Seth Reinhardt on July 4, 2013

The HSRCA and friends took to Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend for their Winter Historics, and had a ball playing historic sports and racing cars in the rain.

The event was held over the 29th and 30th of June and saw a couple hundred historic sports and racing cars gather at Sydney Motorsport Park to tackle the new extended circuit, which spent much of the weekend utterly soaked by ever-present rainfall.

Tricky conditions or not, the racing was tight and exciting and there was a varied and impressive collection of cars waiting to be enjoyed out on the track, or in the pits and paddock. The friendly crowd was the icing on the cake, with everyone happy to have a chat about their pride and joy, racing and everything in between bouts of mechanical tinkering and racing.
