Sports-proto revival

July 7, 2014

The Masters Racing Series is set to grow to as many as 12 race series in 2008, with a number of new categories being introduced. Most significant is for sports-prototypes of the 1970s, to be known as ‘Masters Proto70s’. It will be for 2-litre and 3-litre cars raced between 1971 and 1977, and will feature either two half-hour races or one 50-minute race at five events across Europe.

“We’re aware of cars being race-prepared for the first time in many years,” said Christopher Tate of the Masters organisation.

Masters will also cater for pre-wing GP cars and 1970s Group 2 Touring Cars as well as creating a new under-2-litre Gentleman Drivers series. Masters will also take over the running of the XK Challenge for Jaguar XK120s, offering a class within the Cloth Cap series.

Here is a man who goes racing every weekend from March to October. Paul’s passion for the sport goes back to when he was a child of the 1960s. He has organised, competed in and marshalled on scores of events, and has written about the subject for 20 years. He is as at home in the paddock at Brands Hatch as in a Welsh forest or at Shelsley Walsh.
