Not to be left out, the Tony Dron Trophy sees Ford Capris and Mk 2 Escorts wheel-to-wheel with Triumph Dolomite Sprints, Chevvy Camaros, Alfa Romeos and Golf GTIs. Add to this the pre \u201966 under 2 litre Touring Cars of U2TC such as Mk 1 Mini Coopers, Mk 1 Lotus Cortinas, and BMW 1800s and the Group 2 and Group 1 Touring Cars from 1966 to 1969 of the Sixties Touring Car Challenge &#8211; think Mk 2 Lotus Cortinas, BMW 2002s, early Mk 1 Ford Escorts, Mk 2 Minis, and Lancia Fulvias &#8211; and you will have an absolutely packed grid that promises fabulous racing.

Making its DHF debut, the HRDC Gerry Marshall Trophy for pre-83 Group 1 and 1\u00bd Touring Cars evokes one of the greatest periods from the glory days of the BTCC, where many of the greatest drivers in UK motorsport history pitched battle against each other.

Qualifying is at 09:05, with the 45-minte race starting at 13:10.<\/p>\n<p>The combined grid of HRDC Dunlop Allstars for pre-\u201866 Sports, GT and Touring Cars and HRDC Classic Alfa Challenge for 750-116 Alfa Romeos echoes the \u2018Allcomers\u2019 racers that were a staple part of Club racing in the 1950s and \u201860s. Bringing pre-\u201966 Sports, GT and Touring Cars together on the same grid has produced one of the HRDC\u2019s most successful series \u2013 and adding in the glamorous Classic Alfa Challenge cars has only increased the appeal of this grid. From mighty Cobras through to <a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/speedwell-austin-a35\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Austin A35s<\/a>, with the added spice of Alfa GTs and Touring Cars, this is an intoxicating cocktail for any petrolhead!

This series is singular in that it embraces all cars from the formative years of what we now know as the BTCC. From the early cars of the 1950s such as the ubiquitous Austin A35 and A40 giant-killers that battled so fiercely against the thundering Jaguar Mk1s, this series encompasses the development of Touring Cars through the early to mid-1960s with the heady battles between Lotus Cortina, Ford Mustangs and Falcons and, of course, those cheeky Mini Coopers! Watch out for titanic class battles throughout this truly historic grid!
