Formula Vintage Oulton Park

The Vintage Sports Car Club brought its entertaining new Formula Vintage concept to Oulton Park for round two of the season last weekend (Saturday 10th June).

A huge variety of vintage cars turned out for the event, with everything from early 1900s road cars to a mid-50s Indycar taking to the track over the course of an 11 race programme. Off track activities including a vintage jazz band, Spitfire display and an Autosolo made for a fantastic event. Crowds braved typically mixed British summer weather to attend the Cheshire circuit and were rewarded with some great racing. Paddock 42 photographer Richard Crawford was on hand to capture the atmosphere and the on track action. Results as follows:
