Classic sports car racing UK 61' (rare film from Snetterton)

[rallycross]

Worth a quick lookk - a nice old film/home movie clip from 1961 Snetterton sports car endurance race - 3hrs
Marcos, MGA, Jaguar E-Type etc

Could this race have been what inspired the Willhire 24 hr races many years later??

Very early production E-Types.
That AM 2 VEV is a well known car.
