Our friends in the HSRCA were back at Wakefield Park this past weekend, putting pedal to metal in six or seven decades’ worth of historic racing machinery for some springtime fun. We have photos of all of the racing action, magic machinery and laid back atmosphere for you to enjoy, so buckle up and hit the break!
The HSRCA’s 2015 Historic Spring included feature races for J, K and L pre-1930s, ’30s, ’40s and ’50s historic racing and sports cars. These races attracted an impressive collection of the older cars, which was absolutely wonderful in its variety. The diversity of the group showed off the ingenuity which went into designing, developing and building these cars and pushing the boundaries of going fast in the sport’s earlier years.
They all looked absolutely magic tearing around Wakefield’s picturesque countryside setting. And tear around they did, with no quarter given in respect of the cars’ escalating antiquity!
Joining J, K and L with feature events of their own was a similarly diverse field of Regularity entrants, who put on a particularly great race for their mammoth Saturday afternoon endurance event.
And then there was the full collection of historic racing and sports cars from all categories! Taking in a few races or wandering the pits and paddock you would find everything from wings and slicks open wheelers to mighty Minis, racing specials of all kinds and everything in between.
All in all it was a brilliant weekend! Exciting mirror-to-mirror racing kept the track singing all weekend long, the pits and paddock were particularly relaxed and friendly and the whole event was packed with awesome old cars doing what they do best – what more could you ask for!
We’re looking forward to doing it all again in a few months when they head to Sydney Motorsport Park for a bumper finale to 2015’s historic racing season! For more information on the HSRCA and its events, and even more photos from the weekend, head to their official website here.
