EDITORS COMMENTS

In this evocative photograph, we find ourselves transported back in time to the historic racing scene at the Silverstone Grand Prix Motor Circuit in Towcester, Northamptonshire, England, during the 2022 Motor Racing Legends Silverstone GP event. The focus of our attention is on the #34 Standard Ten driven by the talented Geoff Cook, who is participating in the HRDC Jack Sears Trophy for 1958-1966 Touring Cars. This forty-five minute race, with the option of a second driver and a compulsory pit-stop, is a thrilling celebration of the iconic cars that preceded the British Touring Car Championship events. The results are divided into five classes: Coombs, Leston, Mann, Rhodes, and Sears. Geoff Cook's Standard Ten is a beautiful example of the tin tops that ruled the racetracks during that era. The pre-60 Touring Cars, pre-66 BMC A Series Touring Cars, pre-66 Historic Jaguar Touring Cars, pre-66 Over 2 Litre Touring Cars, and pre-66 Under 2 Litre Touring Cars all come together for an exciting display of motorsport nostalgia. The atmosphere is electric as the classic racing cars roar around the circuit, filling the air with the intoxicating mix of speed, power, and history. The crowd is treated to a spectacle of entertainment, with the option of a second driver adding an extra layer of excitement to the race. As the sun sets on another day of historic racing, the iconic cars and their passionate drivers continue to captivate the hearts and minds of motorsport enthusiasts. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of motor racing and the timeless allure of classic cars. Taken by Chris McEvoy of CJM Photography, this image is a must-have for any motorsport collection and a reminder of the thrilling races that unfolded during the 2022 Motor Racing Legends Silverstone GP event.
