Entries ranged from 8c Alfa Romeos and BMW 328s, through Le Mans Astons and Bentleys, to Riley, MG, Amilcar, Alvis, Morgans, plus such illustrious marques as Invicta, Frazer Nash, Lagonda and Maserati. A highlight of the year was surely the stirring sight of two Stutzes racing together on a European circuit for the first time since 1930.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each round consists of two, two-driver, 45-minute races. The series is for \u201cproper\u201d historic sports cars, running in road trim with wings and lights, and potential entrants are encouraged to register their interest as soon as possible, as grid sizes are limited.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further information can be found at www.motorracinglegends.com.
