In addition to its successful start to the 2012 U.K race
calendar, the HRDC will be staging a 61-minute race, augmented by a 30-minute
qualification session, on the evocative Ardennes GP circuit of Spa,
Francorchamps at the Spa Summer Classic over the 15/16 June.
The HRDC’s 75-car grid will consist of classes from the
following HRDC Series:
·
HRDC ‘GRAND TOURING GREATS’ for sub-1500cc
pre’66 historic GT cars.
·
HRDC ‘TOURING GREATS’ for pre-’60 historic
touring cars.
·
HRDC ‘TC63’ for pre-’64 early Gp.2-type historic
touring cars.
·
HRDC ‘GTS65’ for over-1500cc, pre-’66 historic
GT cars.
·
HRDC ‘MGB50’ for historic FIA-type MGB cars.
Interest has been strong for this race and HRDC Race
Director, Julius Thurgood, reports “The quality of the entries received so far
have been outstanding. The perception of the HRDC coming to Spa for the first
time seems to have caught the imagination - not only of our U.K competitors -
but of several of the top European teams, which we are delighted to welcome to
our race at this impressive event”.
The mainstay attraction of the HRDC is the diversity of
marques and models on track, the high standards of driver discipline and the
unrivalled camaraderie in the Paddock.
HRDC PADDOCK CLUB
An added factor to the enjoyment of this race is that the
HRDC has negotiated the much welcomed convenience of its own designated paddock
at Spa, complete with Grandstand and Camping facilities, plus the added bonus
of direct access to all the major routes in and out of the circuit. The HRDC
race will be held on Saturday 16th June, leaving ample time for HRDC
competitors to take in the rest of the Spa Summer Classic programme on Sunday
or get back to base on Saturday night and earn some Brownie Points at home!
Either way, this will be a positively memorable weekend of historic racing!

I've only just come across this blog so I didn't know about the Spa race - wow, what an opportunity! I'd love to have been there - would like to hear how it all went if anybody's got any news. Julius seems to have created yet another race series where the balance between competition and enjoyment is just right!
