Last Friday saw some of the scores of cars entered in this year's Britcar series take to the track at Silverstone. Also present were some of the more extreme racers taking part in European Endurance Racing Club's (EERC) Britsports series.
The Britcar series in growing in popularity as it represents one of the best value forms of racing around. The GT style racing allows participants to get plenty of time on track. Races are measured in hours rather than laps.
The large grids are organised into seperate classes have resulted in several classes generally based on engine size, with a new 'Production S1' class introduced this year.
The bottom line is that you get to see all manner of production type cars racing for a long time resulting in an entertaining series for participants and spectators alike.
This year's first race is at Silverstone on Saturday March 26th.
