It was great to kick off the season at Silverstone at the VSCC Spring Start meeting. A relaxed season opener and wonderful array of pre war and 50’s sports cars.

The Vintage Sports-Car Club started their 2015 circuit racing season with their annual ‘Spring Start’ race meeting at Silverstone on Saturday 18 April, with some fine racing in front of an estimated crowd of over two thousand spectator’s for the afternoon’s entertaining 11-race programme.

As is the general custom, many used the morning practice sessions to explore the many other attractions away from the track, including another fine display of cars from world-renowned Auction house and Club Associate, Bonhams, including the famed ex-Works Aston Martin Ulster ‘LM19’, the expected headline lot of their Festival of Speed Sale at Goodwood in June, whilst the ever-popular Trade Village also drew plenty of interest. A wander through both the Competitor Paddock and Spectator Pre-war Car Park proved a spectacle in itself with many commenting it was the most impressive atmosphere in years.

During the Lunch Break, there was a small presentation in the Paddock as the original Stork Mascot that had sat atop one of the Club’s annual trophies for over 50 years was returned to its owner, a splendid 1919 Hispano-Suiza H6B Tourer also on display throughout the day.
