Reis Race Retro Revisited - 20 & 21 February 2021

Published: 11/02/2021

While we aren't able to get together in person this month, we want to make sure we don't miss the chance to mark the occasion of Race Retro.

With that in mind, we’re going online for an entire weekend for 'Reis Race Retro Revisited'!

Join us on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 February to celebrate 18 wonderful years with two days of content shared on Facebook and the event website for you all to enjoy.

The weekend will see us sharing a host of memories via video including the 2010 reunion of the legendary Sir Stirling Moss with the Lotus 18 he raced to victory in at the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix. We'll also share an interview with the late, great Norman Dewis OBE conducted in 2016 by journalist Graham Clark. 

Other throwbacks will include the 2016 meeting of rally driving hero Russell Brookes with young rally driver Chris Ingram, who returned to the show just last year. It was during this introduction by Rallying with Group B, Russell challenged Chris to become the first Brit to win the FIA European Rally Championship in over 50 years. Chris won the title in 2019, 52 years after Vic Elford lifted the trophy. 

Staying with rallying, there will be a chance to watch clips of an interview with Ari Vatanen from 2016, Michele Mouton in action on the live rally stage in 2007, and an update from Rallying with Group B, organisers of the outdoor rally action. 

For racing fans, there is a tribute to Barrie ‘Whizzo’ Williams, who was a huge supporter of the show, as well as interview clips from Tom Kristensen’s debut in 2017 and John Fitzpatrick’s appearance in 2019. 

Scattered throughout the day, there will be updates from the clubs, series organisers, exhibitors and headline sponsor Reis Motorsport Insurance, on what they’ve been up to and their plans once lockdown ends. 

On top of all that we will preview the Silverstone Auctions Race Retro Sale which will take place online on Saturday 27 March 2021.

Don't forget if you have a classic or competition car to sell they are still open for consignments - simply contact the team on 01926 691 141.
