At August’s Oulton Park Gold Cup meeting we were able to spend some time with historic racer Michael Lyons, the Lyons clan having a mouth-watering range of classic racecars from Formula One and Formula 5000 to a Group C Gebhardt Michael races with father Frank internationally. A front runner in a variety of historic machinery, Michael also competes in modern GTs and recently took second in class in a Ferrari at the final European Le Mans Series round of 2014.
