Scott Mitchell has kindly provided some photos from the Heritage GT Challenge race, one of the support races for the Formula 2 meeting at Silverstone. Race was won by the Bryant’s in their Morgan +8, who started from pole position. They built up a 42 second lead over the rest of the field. The battle for 2nd, 3rd and 4th was somewhat closer, with Dickson (Ram Cobra 427) taking 2nd place, Donnan (Crossle) 3rd and James/Lim (RAM TRSC) 4th.
