The 2017 Benjafield’s 500 was staged 17 October at the Ascari Race Circuit in Malaga, Spain. The diverse grid of 27 vintage cars included 1932 Alvis Speed 20 SA, 1931 Talbot 105 Team Car and the famous \u2018Number 10\u2019 factory Bentley racer from 1925.<\/p>\n

The Benjafield’s 500 is a 500-mile race that draws inspiration from the Brooklands 500 events that took place from 1929 to 1937. In period it was a handicap event that allowed all manner of cars to enter with lesser cars facing up to the mighty Bentleys of the time. The Benjafield’s 500 of today follows the same format and thus attracts a diverse grid, including a Talbot team car that actually competed in the original Brooklands 500 in 1931.<\/p>\n

In 1928 Dr J. Dudley Benjafield founded the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC) as a social club for British racing drivers to welcome racing drivers from overseas, the first event was a 500-mile race at Brooklands taking place in October 1929. Slower cars set off first, faster cars last, but all had to aim to complete 500 miles quicker than any of the other competitors hence it was dubbed \u2018the fastest race of its kind the world has ever seen\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Benjafield’s Racing Club takes its name from the founding member of the BRDC and accepts a maximum of 100 members from around the world, all of whom share a passion for vintage Bentleys, racing and for following in the footsteps of the Bentley Boys. The club exists to preserve the ethos and spirit of vintage racing and, to keep a mystique around the club, there is no known way of becoming a member.<\/p>\n

Back at Brooklands, the goal was to break the 500-mile barrier faster than any other car, and that\u2019s once again the main premise of the modern race. This year\u2019s event represents 80 years since the final 500-mile race at Brooklands, and, as you might expect from a club whose sole ethos is to emulate the spirit of the famous Bentley Boys, the majority of cars taking part are vintage Bentleys (21 of 27) including Jonathan Turner\u2019s 1925 3-litre \u2018Number 10\u2019 factory team car originally driven by Dr. Benjafield in period.<\/p>\n

While the spirit of the Benjafield\u2019s Racing Club is deeply rooted in fun and friendship, the racing shows that no love is lost when a chequered flag is there for the taking. Eight hours of racing in the Spanish sun saw victory going to Robert Abrey and Julian Riley in the 6 1\/2 litre Bentley with second place going to Martin Overington and Eddie McGuire in the 1929 Bentley Blower and third to Matthew Abrey and Robert Fellowes in the 1925 Bentley 3-4 1\/2. Also worthy of mention is Jonathan Turner and Bert Degenaar in the Bentley 3 litre team car that convincingly led the race until lunchtime.<\/p>\n

Benjafield\u2019s organiser Chris Lunn said: \u201cBenjafield\u2019s 500 is a fantastic re-enactment of a historic race that is as much a social event as it is a race. It\u2019s about people coming together to celebrate an almost 80-year-old legacy all in the spirit of driving some of the greatest cars ever made. Benjafield\u2019s Club events are notoriously good fun, as you might expect for a club where entry is strictly limited to those who have done something either very good or very bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benjafield\u2019s Racing Club Chairman Nigel Batchelor said: \u201cThere is no doubt that the \u2018Benjy 500\u2019 is a ground breaking event, the likes of which has not been seen in 80 years, and all credit to the team led by Chris Lunn for bringing it together.\u201d<\/p>\n
