Historic Festival 34 Chairman Murray Smith has announced an all-new race group for Lime Rock Park’s 34th Historic Festival, scheduled for Labor Day Weekend, September 1-5, 2016. “I’m sounding the clarion call for owners and drivers of saloons and ‘tin tops’ to join us in early September to create a fabulous grid of pre-1970 racing sedans,” said Smith. “This rare race group will be in the manner of the cars in Goodwood’s St. Mary’s Trophy, where Ford Galaxies, BMWs, Mini Coopers, Lotus Cortinas, Anglias, Alfa Romeo 1600s, Jaguar Mk2s, Hillman Imps and the like all race together.
Smith, chair of Lime Rock’s vintage extravaganza since 2009, says the Festival already attracts a handful of sedans sprinkled throughout existing race groups, but now he wants tin-top drivers to have a group of their own, adding: “We might be a bit relaxed this first year with regard to makes and models, but we hope to attract a wonderfully wide range of suitable cars.”
