"Reliving the Glory Days: Historic Touring Car Championship at Brands Hatch" On a sunny September day in 2014, racing enthusiasts gathered at Brands Hatch for an exhilarating display of vintage power and skill. The BARC Club Car Championship showcased some of the most iconic cars from yesteryears, taking spectators on a nostalgic journey through time. Amongst the roaring engines and screeching tires, two Ford Lotus Cortinas stole the show. CM6 8365 driven by John Spiers and CM6 8312 piloted by Nigel Cox battled fiercely for supremacy on the track. Their sleek designs and powerful performance were reminiscent of a golden era in motorsport history. Not far behind them was Jeremy Knight, maneuvering his nimble Austin A35 with finesse. With license plate 189 DBH proudly displayed, he showcased why this classic car remains etched in our memories. Luc Wilson took to the circuit in his trusty Austin A40 (APA 378 A), proving that age is just a number when it comes to racing prowess. Meanwhile, Steve Barber commanded attention with his Ford Anglia (HMD 408 B), demonstrating that even smaller vehicles can pack quite a punch. The event saw drivers compete not only for victory but also for bragging rights as they navigated hairpin turns and pushed their cars to their limits. James Clarke's presence was felt as he expertly handled his Ford Lotus Cortina (CM14 7223), leaving competitors trailing behind him. Julian Balme added variety to the mix with his formidable Ford Falcon Sprint (CM14 7236). Its muscular frame tore through straightaways while maintaining impressive control around corners. Charlie Birkett showcased British engineering excellence with his Mini Cooper S (CM8 0394). This compact yet mighty machine proved its mettle against larger opponents throughout each lap.
