DescriptionPre 1966 Historic Sports and GT cars.
Over the last seven seasons, Christophe Wilmart and Jim Lowry have enjoyed organising some excellent European motor race including events at Montlhery, Spa Fancorchamps, Zandvoort, Dijon-Prenios, Zolder and Clermont Ferrand, plus other longer distance races at some of the more popular and demanding UK circuits including Donington Park, Silverstone International, Brands Hatch, Snetterton and the Shell-Oils circuit at Oulton Park among many others. We have attracted cars and drivers from Germany, Italy, Holland, France, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden, plus a host of UK drivers and all have enjoyed some excellent racing.
Our races are predominantly for lesser powered historic production sports-cars including MGAs, MGBs, Triumph TR3 and 4, Morgan 4/4 and Plus-4, "Special-bodied" Sprites and Midgets, Sabre 6, TVR Grantura, AC Ace and Alfa Romeo cars among others. Most cars run to period E to F "FIA" specification or to an acceptable period modified specification to be approved by the organising committee and on controlled historic style tyres.
We do not hold any form of championship and the need to win or be competitive is not of paramount importance among our growing number of competitors. Our aims and objectives are to be able to provide a reasonably safe environment for owners of high quality historic cars to race in longer distance races at better quality circuits and meetings.
We have attracted some beautiful cars to race with us including no less than five ex-works MG cars including a ex-Le Mans and ex Sebring MGBs and a "Jacobs" style MG Midget, both ex-works Le Mans Sunbeam Alpines, one of three ex Le Mans Triumph Spitfires, plus several superb sports-cars with genuine 1960s racing history. The enthusiasm among owners of such cars to race among other like-minded competitors and the camaraderie among the group is second to none.
If our series appeals and you think that you may have a suitable car, then we welcome you to apply for an invitation to race your treasured car among other like minded enthusiasts in "Equipe"GTS.
