Starting a new motorsport club at this point of time is a bold move, but last weekend the Classic Racing Car Club put on quite a show at Thruxton, in their debut event. Competitors and spectators alike, were royally entertained as summer finally arrived in England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were familiar cars and familiar faces, such as Tiff Needell, who won his first race here, way back almost half a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The blue Ralt RT3 was also a voice from the past; I had witnessed it, and its driver, Martin Brundle, chase Ayrton Senna all over the UK in 1983, he very nearly caught the Brazilian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our main man behind the lens, Simon Hildrew, was on top form, the weather was wonderful and so are the images he has sent over to DDC Towers. Enjoy them, I certainly did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n John Brooks, June 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.doubledeclutch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Thruxton-Historic-2021-01469.jpg\")
