The Oulton Park Gold Cup

Typically mixed British Bank Holiday weather failed to deter either competitors or spectators for the 2015 edition of the Oulton Park Gold Cup. A healthy crowd turned up on both Sunday and Monday to watch full grids in a packed 19-race programme of historic racing. Paddock 42 photographer Richard Crawford was there to capture the action, including a demonstation of the 1988 Le Mans 24 Hours winning Jaguar XJR-9 Group C car by Andy Wallace.

Results were as follows:

Mark Dwyer – March 742 F2
