Matters of the Moment Spa Summer Classic this weekend 24-26 June is followed just seven days later by Le Mans Classic. Then a deep breath before the action moves to Zandvoort on 15-17 July. Nearer to home, the HSCC is at Brands Hatch (9/10 July), Motor Racing Legends at Snetterton (16-17 July) and then HSCC again, this time organising the Gold Cup Meeting at Oulton Park.

After a brief lull we then have The Classic, (26-28 August), Goodwood Revival (16-18 September), Castle Combe Autumn Classic (24 September) and Spa Six Hours (30 September-2 October). There is more: HSCC is at Brands Hatch (15-16 October) and Motor Racing Legends conclude its season at Silverstone (22-23 October). The word exhaustive springs to mind. Historic motorsport enthusiasts are truly spoiled for choice.

Classic Car and Historic Motorsport from Retro-Speed Magazine Daily news and image galleries from the world of classic rallying, historic motor racing, hill climbs, car trials, classic car shows, and major classic car and automobilia auctions, written by and for those passionate about historic motor sport.

Classic Motorsport Retro-Fact Visiting Brooklands Museum today, it's hard to believe the Vickers VC10 (G-ARTA) powered by four Rolls Royce Conway jet engines, and now on permanent display, was actually flown into the site. Perhaps even harder to believe; Vickers built this ground-breaking aeroplane right here at Brooklands factory 25 years previously.
