Capturing the Thrill of Classic Racing at Donington Historic Festival 2023". In this print by Chris McEvoy from CJM Photography, we are transported to the heart of historic motor racing at Donington Park in Castle Donington, England. The image showcases CM34 6809 Chris Blewett behind the wheel of a stunning Ginetta G4 as he competes in an exhilarating race. The event features two distinct grids organized by the Historic Racing Drivers Club (HRDC) and Dunlop Allstars. Pre-1966 Sports, GT, and Touring Cars take center stage as they rev their engines for a thrilling showdown. The Allstars results are divided into three classes: GT - under 2500cc pre-66 GT's, GTA - over 2500cc pre-66 GT's, and TC - for pre-66 Touring Cars. Adding to the excitement is the HRDC Classic Alfa Challenge where 750-116 Alfa Romeos battle it out on the track. Divided into three classes – CORSA for full racing specification cars, MONZA for historic cars, and NORD for production cars – these iconic vehicles create a nostalgic atmosphere that transports spectators back in time. As April 2023 rolls around, motorsport enthusiasts eagerly anticipate witnessing this enthralling spectacle firsthand. With its mix of classic racing cars ranging from tin tops to sports cars and saloon cars to retro vehicles, Donington Historic Festival promises an unforgettable experience filled with speed and nostalgia. Chris McEvoy's skillful photography perfectly captures the essence of this classic event; his lens freezes a moment that encapsulates both adrenaline-pumping action on the track and timeless beauty on display.
