Huge Grid For MG Trophy Championship Opener

THE second MG Car Club Race Meeting is taking place at Brands Hatch this weekend.

Pete Macwaters, co-ordinator for the MG Trophy Championship, expects to have 25 starters lined up for his first championship race of the season.

“I’m actually a few short and could have had 29 lining up!” said Macwaters, “it’s also great to have secured a main MG Deale, Toomey MG of Basildon as our race sponsor.

“Our Saturday race will be filmed and combined with one of our Silverstone races to form a one hour TV slot for Motors TV” enthused Macwaters.

Four of the new ‘160’ class ZRs will make their race debut on the twisty Indy circuit mixing it with the upgraded ‘170’ and full race ‘190’ cars.

The two Trophy races are part of a monster 25 race weekend organised by the MG Car Club which also features races for the Porsche Club, Ferrari Open and Classic, BARC Quaife saloons and Mazda MX5’s. Racing starts at 12:30 on the Saturday.

Tickets for all the action are available from Brands Hatch here with a saving of £4 when purchased in advance.
