    What a great video! How were the classes set up with 15 year old cars as the top runners in Class C? Did they run stock engines? How did I miss this series?!

    It was a long running series organised by the Porsche Club of Great Britain motorsport division running each season through the eighties with various sponsors such as Giro-flex, Pirelli, Autofarm, BF Goodridge I think there are threads where someone has posted the rules. I will probably have some rules and regulations somewhere. There are other videos I’ve posted such as the Birmingham super prix support race. A decent selection of original 73 RS were on the grids until prices began to ruse and were for number of years often the model to beat in the top class. Results from 1987 season:

    This was a little piece in Autosport to encourage new people to get started.

    By the time of 1988 season it was a very well established club racing series with large participation 134 registration from 10 nationalities across the four classes, which were essentially by HP, as can be seen here

    My 911E was originally Albert Blue and was owned and raced by Rodney Lewis at this time. He's listed above as number 318 in class D - not sure if you get brief glimpses of it at 3.09 and 4.24 in this video?
