Mallory Park – Race Report

With the long winter behind us, the MG Car Club made the welcome return to Mallory Park on 29th March, for a one day racing frenzy to kick start the new season.

A breezy paddock saw seven of our championships set up camp for the opening round, spread over eight races.

It certainly was an eventful start to the 2015 season for MG Car Club. Luckily, everyone managed to stay anchored to the ground and overcome the tricky conditions with smiles on their faces. Now we look ahead to the second round of the season and our first double header, as we get set for Brands Hatch. The Brands Hatch weekend will take place during 2nd-3rd May, and we very much look forward to seeing you all there, hopefully in the sunshine we’ve come to expect from the Kent venue!

Thank you to all the marshals for braving the wind and rain!
