Classic Sports Car Club at Thruxton Circuit 13-08-2016


The Classic Car Club held a meeting at Thruxton Circuit over the weekend of the 13th and 14th of August. I attended the Saturday event. As it was close to home I thought I would pop along and take a look. The last time I saw these kind of cars here was 10 years ago. I took my dad, my daughter Maddison and my Niece Emma as company.
Any classic car meeting car park normally has classic cars not taking part in the event and this one did not disappoint. 
Below are some of the classics that were parked.











We got a spot on the Chicane but then moved to the grandstand seats as the weather went from sunshine to a light rain. Once settled into our seats, I had a quick walk around the paddock to see what cars would be racing. Below are a some photos from the paddock.

















I saw the orange Ford at Race Retro earlier this year on the 750 Club stand.


Onto the racing, the first race of the day was the CSCC Mintex Classic K Series. This race had a grid that was made up of cars pre 1966 GT and Touring Cars running to FIA Appendix K regulations. This was an hours race with the likes of Ford Mustangs, E-Type Jaguars, Lotus, MG, TVR and Austin Healey did battle in a race that had some close racing, sideways cornering and plenty of noise. The race was won by John Spiers in his TVR Griffith.









































The second race of the day was the CSCC Tin Tops. This series is for Saloon and Hatchback cars with an engine capacity of under 2 litres and with no Turbo or Superchargers except for Diesels. This race was 40 minutes long with a mandatory pit stop between 10 and 25 minutes. The grid was made up of Renult Clio's, Ford Fiesta's, Peugeot 306's and an Austin Metro. After some hard racing, Nigel Ainge and Danny Cassar took the chequered flag in their Honda Integra Type R.























William Hardy pushing a little too hard and goes sideways into the chicane.


Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to leave Thruxton after the second race. I had a brilliant time, the CSCC and its members put on a brilliant weekend of racing and it's great value for money. I hope to go to another of their meetings in the near future, next time the full weekend. For more information about Thruxton Circuit, please visit

  21. A question that immediately comes to mind when thinking of a car purchase is "how much can I afford?" Some people think it's as simple as having sufficient savings to pay cash for the car, while others look at it as the ability to afford the monthly payment of in house financing used car.
