The Motorsport season makes a welcome return this weekend with the 1st and 2nd round of the Classic Touring Car Club - Pre 83 Touring Car Championship at Donington Park. Mostyn Rutter and the Vauxhall Firenza are making a welcome return to action two and a half years since the last outing at Rockingham October 2011.
A shakedown of the car was completed on Saturday, where the opportunity was taken to bed in a newly built and hopefully more potent race engine. With only a couple of jobs to complete this week including fitting some fresh Toyo rubber, replacing the Dunlops, the plan is to head across to Donington Park Friday night.
A class win was achieved back in 2002 during the last visit to Donington, however a field of Jaguar, Escorts, Dolomites, Capris and Rovers await with mix of pre 66 machinery thrown in (including Lotus Cortinas and Minis) ensuring a packed 30 car grid. With a couple of other Firenzas also entered it shaping up to be a great weekend!
The Timetable has Qualifying on Saturday morning at 9.40am, whilst the 1st Race is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at 13.20
The 2nd race is on Sunday at 13.05 with Motors TV showing all Sunday afternoon races live.
