This print by Chris McEvoy captures the exhilarating CJ10 8035 Richard Parsons, GN Touring race at the Seaman and Len Thompson Trophies Race Meeting held at Cadwell Park Circuit in Louth, Lincolnshire, England. The fifteen-minute race showcased a thrilling display of vintage cars dating from the early 1920s to the mid-1930s, many of which featured chain drive systems and relied solely on rear wheel drum brakes. As these historic racing machines zoomed around the circuit, spectators were transported back in time to an era when speed was achieved with raw power and skillful maneuvering. The Formula Vintage event organized by the Vintage Sports Car Club (VSCC) provided a nostalgic experience for enthusiasts of classic cars and motorsport alike. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of this inter-war year car competition with its retro aesthetic and old-fashioned charm. Against a backdrop of picturesque Lincolnshire countryside, these timeless vehicles exude elegance as they navigate through twists and turns reminiscent of a mini Nurburgring. Chris McEvoy's lens freezes a moment filled with excitement as Richard Parsons fearlessly pilots his Frazer Nash/GN Race car amidst fierce competition. This image serves as a testament to both the enduring allure of vintage sports cars and their place in our collective automotive history.
