Third overall and first in class for the Elan at Donington Park this weekend with Paul Whight and John Dickson behind the wheel.

The Elan of Paul Whight is back on track this weekend, running in Equipe GTS at Donington Park. Race number 118, a 1965 1600cc car, prepared by our team and driven today by Paul and John Dickson.

The car returns to the grid off the back of a win last time out, when it ran with Rob Fenn alongside Paul. Great form to carry into what is going to be another excellent race day with Equipe Classic Racing

Qualifying at 10.40am, race at 3.55pm.

Not everything that comes through the doors at JDR is a racing car. This week Tom will be working on a Polaris RZR off-road buggy, in for some repair work following an accident. Whatever the vehicle, it still gets the same JDR treatment 🙌

Race winners at Brands Hatch on Bank Holiday Monday. ☀️

Paul Whight and friend Rob Fenn took their Lotus Elan 1600 to overall Race 7 victory at the CSCC Midland Classic Restorations meeting, completing 36 laps at a very sunny Brands Hatch Indy circuit.

There are worse ways to spend a bank holiday weekend, right?! 🙌

This one is a bit special.

A 1972 Aston Martin AMV8. Converted to race specification in 2006 by Aston Motorsport Ltd. Matching engine and chassis numbers, original interior included, and recently back from an engine refresh by Boysie Thurtle with new engine wiring and ECU.

Eligible for CSCC Future Classics and the increasingly popular Equipe 70s grid, this is a car with real scope for a competitive campaign. It also retains a current V5, so it can be returned to fast road spec if that's the direction you want to take it.

A proper British icon, ready to race.
