Trophy co-ordinator Pete Macwaters said “For the first time in the championship’s history we will have a full grid at Brands Hatch for the first two rounds of the season. In fact we had 33 entries at the start of the month and were into reserves, something that was new for me”.

With no race sponsor and one of the two races being televised for ‘Motors TV’ Macwaters decided to sponsor the races himself in memory of his father who used to bring him to Brands to watch the racing in the 60’s. He went on to say “I have clear memories of standing on the banking watching all sorts of racing both club and international, I’ve watched all the greats at Brands including my hero Jim Clark”. “My dad’s nick name was Maxie so it’s appropriate that we’ve maxed the grid” said Macwaters.

All 3 classes of the ZR will be represented with the majority in class C, the 170bhp cars, which is proving to be very popular. Aussie champ Cody Hill will be racing in 2014 champ, Chris Bray’s 190 car, Paul Luti will be competing in a 170 for the first time and Albanian driver Avni Ropica will be having his first tin top races. “Brands is going to be very exciting” concluded Macwaters.
