Mid-day demonstrations in the 15 minutes lunch break gave no respite for spectators but nobody seemed to mind. The Phillip Island Classic 2011 celebrated anniversaries for 40 years of Ford\u2019s Bathurst-winning XY Falcon GT HO, 20 for Nissan\u2019s equally successful GT-R, half centuries for England\u2019s Mini and Jaguar\u2019s E-Type and 60 years of Porsche in Australia.<br \/>\nKlaus Bischof and his team from Germany can be relied on each year to bring priceless examples of Porsche\u2019s racing history to the Island for some healthy exercise. The iconic \u2018Moby Dick\u2019 Porsche 935 shared track space during the demonstration laps with the Porsche 962 that Derek Bell, Hans Stuck and Al Holbert drove to victory at Le Mans in 1987. Keeping them company were the Stuttgart museum\u2019s 1969 Targa Florio winning Porsche 908-02 and the Porsche Type 718 RS60 Spyder that won the 1960 Daytona 24-Hour race outright.<br \/>\nThe operative word at this meeting is \u2018Classic\u2019 and they stretched back to the first ever Grand Prix. The 4-cylinder engine in Anne Thomson and Wallace McNair\u2019s Darracq GP, all 14.25 litres of it, took the Le Mans connection back 105 years. It had powered Louis Wagner\u2019s similar car at the Sarthe circuit in the 1906 French Grand Prix. At Phillip Island Classic 2011 it ran all weekend, in Thomson\u2019s capable hands, in the Regularity events and during the demonstrations. With a history including success at the 1906 Vanderbilt Cup and in Malcolm Campbell\u2019s first Bluebird, the engine is now back where it belongs. The New Zealand pair located a contemporary Darracq frame, running gear and other parts to recreate the racer.<br \/>\nPeter Giddings was back at Phillip Island Classic for the 2011 edition. His 250F Maserati #2501\/2523 was in good company. Tom Price had #2525 with him and Jeffrey O\u2019Neill brought #2527, but these three irreplaceables weren\u2019t there just for looks. They set the scene for the opposition in Groups J, K &amp; L, coming home 1-2-3 in Saturday morning\u2019s race. David Reid\u2019s Holden-powered Faux Pas made up for its DNF though, with a second and two firsts in the next three races, showing the thoroughbreds what a local is capable of, and earning David the \u2018Driver of the Meeting\u2019 trophy. On Sunday morning, when 11 cars from the Darracq to the Alan Jones championship-winning Williams FW07 were lined up for photos, the Maseratis shared front row with Ron Townley\u2019s 1948 Lago Talbot.<br \/>\nIn the afternoon the International Challenge Race for Groups Q &amp; R and Invited cars saw the Lolas and Porsches battle it out for 20 laps, with John Briggs in the South Australian built Veskanda taking the honours from Jamie Larner, Ralt RT2 and Bert Skidmore, Lola T286.<br \/>\nRacing was hard all weekend, with damage and injuries thankfully light. Historic Formula Ford races are always well contested and on Saturday John Van Leeuwen came off worse for wear while trying to avoid Brendan Jones\u2019 spinning Reynard.<br \/>\nArguably the most beautiful F1 car ever built, Lou Sellyei\u2019s Gurney Eagle saw action in the Group O and M races, placing 6th from 40 entries in Saturday morning\u2019s race in the hands of Bert Skidmore. Aaron Lewis in the 1969 AAR Eagle T2G crossed the line 5th in race 4 on Sunday afternoon. These two had shared the limelight side by side in the morning\u2019s start line photo shoot. Sharing track space in the same races with the pair of Eagles was Chris Wilson\u2019s Mk1 Ford GT40. Chassis #1018, it started its career with Shelby American in 1965 as a reserve car. It achieved celebrity status the following year when Shelby drove it as the first car across a newly opened stretch of the Santa Monica freeway and it was used as a camera car during the filming of John Frankenheimer\u2019s movie \u2018Grand Prix\u2019. The car has returned to its roots however, winning 11 from 13 races, and its class every time, in the Le Mans Classic between 2002 and 2008.<br \/>\nIn Group A, the exhausts of Corey McMahon\u2019s Nissan Skyline and Craig Neilson\u2019s Mitsubishi Starion kept the track warm into turn 4. Locked brakes were the order of the day over Lukey Heights down into turn 10. Now in his 70\u2019s, John Mann celebrated his final outing in his 289 Mustang with a 2nd and two 3rd places from four races. Not quite the age of the Darracq, 80 years young and 63 years a racer, Murray Carter drove the XE Ford Falcon that he ran in the 1983 Bathurst 1000 in the four Group C races.<br \/>\nIn the display hall across Gardner Straight from the pits were the Bathurst winning Fords, Holden Toranas from the New South Wales GTR and XU1 Owners\u2019 Club, restored Minis, the Aston Martin DBS used by Australia\u2019s \u2018James Bond\u2019 George Lazenby in \u201cOn Her Majesty\u2019s Secret Service\u201d and Roger \u2018The Saint\u2019 Moore\u2019s Volvo P1800. Steve Pike of Marsh Classic Restorations had his reconstruction of the Healey Streamliner that had reached 192mph at Bonneville in 1954. Its 240 bhp supercharged 100S engine has taken Pike\u2019s car to 149 mph at Bonneville in 2009 and 189 mph at Lake Gairdner, South Australia last year.<br \/>\nWhen the last race was run, the track opened late on Sunday afternoon to let the transporters out. The hundreds of volunteers from the Victorian Historic Racing Register and the Victorian Mini Club, medical crews, the competitors and their teams, sponsors and spectators cleared the track and gathered at locations all around the Island. Winding down after an event like the Phillip Island Classic takes time.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.natsoft.com.au\/cgi-bin\/results.cgi?20\/03\/2011.PHIL\">(See Phillip Island Classic 2011 &#8211; Complete Results)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report and photos by Vince Johnson The Phillip Island Classic Festival of Motorsport was held 18-20 March, 2011 at the 4.445 km (2.762 mile) Phillip Island Circuit in Victoria, Australia.
