HSCC Chief Executive Officer Grahame White said: Were very pleased to welcome the Classic FF2000 drivers to the HSCC after some successful trial races last season. Weve been able to put together a very good calendar for them, including the Silverstone and Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuits and the Oulton Park Gold Cup.
It is good news that weve found a home for these cars and I think theyll fit in very well with the HSCC, said Ken Thorogood from Universal Racing Services. There are as many as 40 cars out there and I hope this move will attract more of them out.
