Donington Success for VSCC
As predicted, it was ‘scorchio’ at Donington Park last Saturday for round three of the VSCC’s Formula Vintage Series. Even the cars were in need of additional shade.
A full programme of 10 races, which included the historic Seaman Trophy celebrating its 70th anniversary, included on the grid a wonderful entry of six ERAs.
Large crowds turned out, not only to enjoy the weather and some superb racing, but they were also able to enjoy the lunchtime grid walk. The opportunity to get up close to these magnificent machines in full race trim and talk to the drivers has been an inspired innovation by the VSCC in recent times.
