VR Europe at Race Retro

Vintage Racecar’s European team was kept busy at the 2014 edition of Race Retro. “It’s great for our readers to meet the names behind the features, and an ideal annual event to showcase the magazine,” said European Editor, Mike Jiggle. Thanks to Hall and Hall, VR displayed a rare OSCA Maserati (which will be profiled in a future issue of Vintage Roadcar) which caused a great deal of interest over the weekend as many visitors stated that they had not seen one before—some said it was possibly the rarest car at the show!

During the weekend, the European team made two announcements. The first was the continued support for the British Women’s Racing Driver’s Club with the “Champions Trophy” series, and new for 2014 was the “Racing Spirit” trophy for those competing in the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association events. European Editor Mike Jiggle explained, “It’s tremendously important for Vintage Racecar to be seen to be actively involved in historic motor racing. The provision of trophies is a small way we can give something back to the sport, but also a great way of keeping abreast of things at the sharp end. Our readers benefit from this involvement as we’re able to form relationships with owners and competitors, keep abreast of news of great racing events and a continue the flow of great cars at our disposal to profile.”
