john.r.davies Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) I'm watching the 2030 Birkett, live from Silverstone: https://www.facebook.com/453515148341364/videos/770746843780178/ The oldest model in the entry is the VW Beetle, which is fairly old, but next would be ?Toyota MR2? Despite the blurb speaking of teams of Midgets, or A30s, that is history now. Oh, for the days 30 years ago, when there were Bentleys and 750 Trophy (Austin 7 based) cars, as well as several Triumph teams! There was an attempt to hold a version for classics, but sad to say it folded for lack of entries. O Tempora, O Mores! Certainly entrants take the Birkett far more seriously than in the day, when it was an end-of-season bit of fun! JOhn Edited October 24, 2020 by john.r.davies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi John, The Birkett race was a lot of fun. I recall when you organised a Triumph team at Silverstone, probably around 15 years ago ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted October 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 We did - well, not that well, but respectably! This was 2008. The driving standards of other teams then so deterred the Triumph Drivers that I could never get another team together! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
