REPORT : THE CLASSIC , SILVERSTONE
Calum Lockie and Dean Forward head the Thundersports pack

On the big stage

Two major grids from the HSCC were part of the stellar race line-up at The Classic , Silverstone at the end of July . Paul Lawrence reports .
The biggest historic racing festival returned after an enforced absence in 2020 and marked the 30th edition of the event . From the HSCC portfolio , Historic Formula 2 and Thundersports were in action and were joined by two non-championship races for Historic Formula Junior from the FJHRA .
In addition to providing two impressive grids the HSCC was also responsible for organising the on-track element of the event , which spanned three full days and included 21 races . Variable weather added a further challenge across the weekend but the programme was successfully completed in front of a large and enthusiastic audience .
HSCC CEO Andy Dee-Crowne said : “ We are fortunate to have a very professional and experienced team of volunteer officials and marshals . We send sincere thanks to each and every one of them for the part they played at Silverstone .”
