Founded in 1990, the inaugural event attracted an audience of around 20,000, a handful of car club displays and a modest 426 racing entries. The latest edition of the event played host to a record 109,000 visitors, with 140 car clubs registered to display more than 10,000 classics, and 21 epic races attracting close to 1000 entries.    Races were won by Cooper, McLaren, Ligier and Lotus F1 cars; top sportscar honours went to drivers racing AC Cobras, a pre-war Bentley and a Jaguar D-type while Minis, a Mustang and a Ford Sierra RS500 were among the tin-top victors – proof of the wide range of cars on show.

  Thrilling finish to Flying Scotsman Rally 5 Apr 2017 (News)
  We’ve done two Flying Scotsman events and Ali didn’t make a mistake all weekend. ‘We thought it would be a big engined car that would come here and win it. They rearranged the test very slightly this year to make it a lot fairer for smaller cars so we were good on some tests and the big cars were good on others. A brilliant event, incredibly well organised, and an amazing result for us.” There was also a win for the oldest Pioneer car in the rally, the 1907 Itala 40, which is considerably well travelled having competed in the ERA’s Road to Mandalay and Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, was crewed by David Ayre and Anthony Thompson.

  BMW implicated in Volkswagen emissions scandal 24 Sep 2015 (News)
  The cheat device, fitted between the engine and the exhaust system, detects specific driving patterns so that it can alter the characteristics of the car when a rolling road emissions test is being performed. The device specifically reduces Nitrous oxides emissions (NOx), which are linked to exacerbating and even causing respiratory disease, but doing so increases the car’s fuel consumption.

  Report: Peking to Paris, day 27 23 Jun 2013 (News)
  With the European Trophy at stake for the Kiev to Paris section many cars were working hard. In the Vintageants, again Mike Reeves in car 38, the V8 Ford Coupe, proved to be the quickest on 8:04, just a couple of seconds ahead of car 15, the Ford Model A, now going better thanks to finding a faulty electrical cable from the coil that was the cause of yesterday’s misfire, with the red Chevy - who say they are backing off and taking it easy - still stroking it along up the hill to set 8:33.
