Race Retro Live Stages – 23rd to 25th February 2018
Held at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, this is a classic car show, and includes the special rally cars from the Group B era. There is a Live Stage where the rally cars can show their paces and take passengers around the circuit to show them what riding in a fast rally car is like.
Puff was invited as an original classic marathon rally car. The three days were fine but very cold. Puff was ready to run.
Tina and Bron were interviewed on the Live Stage inside the halls on Friday and talked about their recent experience on the 2017 HERO London-Lisbon Classic Rally.
The Live Stage on the rally course began on Saturday and were fast and furious. Many more cars appeared to run this year – 25 more than last year. The sport is growing apace.
Even in the dry, the big powerful cars were finding it very hard to stay on track, and one car even barrel-rolled. Lots of Escorts sliding sideways too. But Puff had no problem, and again she wasn’t the slowest car. She ran beautifully, going as well as she has ever done…. now ready for her new year of competition.
