Oulton Park Gold Cup

Not quite Tiger material so aplogies, but with the sun shining on a bank holiday it was rude not to call in at my local circuit.
Weekend saw 480 classic cars racing at the historic circuit and with many car clubs attending there was plenty to see.
It was also a pleasure to bump into fellow Tiger owners (so an excuse to post!) at the event and a few pics on an album: Oulton Park Gold Cup Gallery of Pics
The highlight of the event featured the Sir Stirling Moss Trophy, a new event for pre-1961 sportscars and sports-racers. Moss himself competed in the event exactly 50 years after winning the 1960 Gold Cup in a Lotus 18 – and the 80-year-old piloted an Osca FS372. Sir Stirling had won the Oulton Park Gold Cup over his career a magnificent five times.
