EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling print from the Motor Racing Legends event at Silverstone Grand Prix Motor Circuit in Towcester, Northamptonshire, England, October 2022, we find ourselves in the midst of the HRDC 'Gerry Marshall' Trophy Series, a forty-five minute two driver race featuring over 30 pre-1980s Touring Cars. The grid is split into four classes: one for Drum Braked cars, and three based on engine capacity. Adding to the excitement is the Willhire class for Invited Production Touring Cars. At the heart of the action is the Ford Capri driven by Alex Thistlewayte. The Capri, a classic GT car, is a popular choice among tin top enthusiasts and fits perfectly in this field of Group 1 and Group 1½ Touring Cars. The rain-soaked circuit adds an extra layer of challenge to the race, making for an entertaining spectacle for the crowds. The cars roar to life, engines revving, and the drivers put their pedal to the metal as they race around the circuit. Spray flies as they navigate the wet turns, and the pit stop area comes alive with activity as teams work tirelessly to ensure their drivers have the best possible chance to cross the finish line first. Amidst the chaos, Thistlewayte skillfully maneuvers his Ford Capri through the pack, determined to secure a top spot. The rain continues to pour down, but the drivers remain focused, their competitive spirit undeterred. This photo captures the essence of motor racing: the raw power of the cars, the skill and determination of the drivers, and the excitement and unpredictability of the race. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of motor sport and the passion that drives us to the track, rain or shine. Taken by Chris McEvoy of CJM Photography during the Motor Racing Legends Silverstone GP on the 22nd and 23rd of April 2023, this image is a must-have for any motorsport enthusiast's collection.
