Goodwood Festival of Speed 2010
The Passion for Speed - Viva Veloce was the theme for the Festival of Speed 2010. The Festival has grown so much over the last few years, that this year an extra day was added on Thursday. The Moving Motor show allowed manufacturers to display their latest vehicles to an eager public using the famous Goodwood hill. There was an unfortunate accident which injured 4 people, when a member of the public lost control of a Honda and crashed into 4 people in one of the display halls, but otherwise, the event was a great success. The Festival of Speed started in earnest on Friday when the competitors took to the track to practice, with the main competitive and demonstration runs done over the weekend. The event celebrated the centenary of Alfa Romeo, and 60 years of the Formula 1 World Championship along with several major races from around the World. Alfa Romeo shipped over a large quantity of very old and rare cars for the event, and six of the current Grand Prix teams attended, including McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull, Williams, Mercedes and Lotus.

Auto Italia 2010
A splendid line up of Italian automobiles was on display at Stanford Hall for Auto Italia 2010. Celebrating the centenary of Alfa Romeo, the Alfa Romeo Owners club had a large display area with many members displaying a wide range of interesting vehicles. There was also a large display of historic Alfa Romeo in the main display area right outside the main house. The Ferrari Owners club had a very large display of Ferrari on show, with an Enzo and F40 at one extreme and a superb 275 convertible also among the massive line up. The Maserati Owners club also had a large display area next to the Ferrari's with one or two very interesting models. A 300S, Kyalami and Mexico model were all on display. In the main display area, a particular section caught my eye. A line up of 4 Iso models, including a Rivolta and Grifo. You don't often get to see these models in the UK, so 4 together was a rare treat. De Tomaso and Lamborghini were also represented along with Lancia and Fiat. There were even a couple of Innocenti sports cars, powered by the good old Austin A-series engine.

La Vie en Bleu 2010
The Bugatti Owners Club staged their French weekend spectacular at the end of May at their fantastic Prescott Hill climb course. With demonstration runs by the ex-Aryton Senna JPS Lotus Renault turbo 98T and several Bugatti Veyron's, the event also had a great French flavour with 24 competitors running Bugatti's, as well as a large number of Renaults and even some Citroens competing. There were also great static car displays by various car clubs showing some very interesting French cars. Fastest Time of the day went to Terry Davis in a Reynard TKD 913 single seater in the
Franco-Brittanique Challenge Racing Car Handicap class, though he did not win his class. French honour was restored with the first class winner being the Peugeot 106GTi of Philip Dallow who set the fifth fastest time overall behind the single seater racing cars.

VSCC Curborough Speed Trials 2010
The Vintage Sports Car Club made its annual trip to the Curborough Sprint course near Lichfield over the May Bank holiday weekend. Bright but cold weather  drew a good sized crowd out to enjoy the action from a large and varied field. James Baxter in his Frazer Nash single seater retained the Curborough Trophy by setting Fastest time of day again, but due to the colder weather, he did not beat his time from last year. Mark Walker again proved to be one of the stars of the event in his 105 year old Darraq. Having driven the car to the event on the road, he then threw it round the course beating over 4/5th of the field and set a new class record and finished 1st on Handicap in the Edwardian or Earlier class.

RAC Tourist Trophy - Silverstone Supercar Showdown
The FIA GT1 World Championship arrived at Silverstone at the beginning of May 2010, with supporting races for the European GT3 and GT4 championships. Using the new Arena circuit layout for its first race meeting, the track proved to be demanding challenge for the GT drivers and a pleasure for the spectators. The Qualifying race on Saturday provided a one-two result for the Hexis racing Aston Martin team with Makowiecki/Accary taking the victory from Hirschi/Piccione.
The GT1 World Championship race for the RAC Tourist Trophy proved to be an interesting race on a drying track. Darren Turner and Thomas Enge took first place on the road in their Aston Martin at the end of the race, but the under floor skid plank was found to be worn beyond the permitted minimum thickness and the car was excluded. Second on the road were Accary and Malowiecki in another Aston Martin, but then they were given a 15 second penalty for not serving a drive through penalty within the required 3 laps, which demoted them to third. This gave victory to Jamie Campbell-Walter and Warren Hughes in the Nissan GT-R with the Aston Martin of Accary and Malowiecki offically classified 2nd overall.  See results and photos by clicking here

The European GT3 Championship saw two races held over the weekend. German lady driver Ellen Lohr, the only woman to have won a round of the DTM championship, was teamed with Philip Geipel in the Argo Racing Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and they dominated the first race until with only 12 minutes remaining Mike Parisy in the Corvette Z06R managed to pass Lohr into Brooklands. He then ran out of fuel. Lohr then spun the Lamborghini and the victory was snatched by the Porsche 911 GT3 of Tim Bergmeister and Jose Luis Cunuill. The second race on Sunday saw various cars take the lead. Inital leader Dino Lunardi in the Corvette Z06R was replaced by another Corvette of Hohenadel before the Porsche 911 GT3 of Haering and Estre took the lead, before Estre spun off.  Victory eventually went to Keilwitz and Hohenadel in their Corvette Z096R.

Silverstone opens new Arena circuit layout.
When Silverstone regained the Moto GP for 2010 from Donington Park, the plan was to create a new circuit layout for the motorbikes. The track would leave the existing circuit between Club corner and the Abbey bend, and rejoin the National straight just after Becketts, and at Brooklands re-join the existing Grand Prix circuit. After much development work carried out at the circuit over the winter and laying down the new parts to the circuit, it was decided to run the F1 British Grand Prix on the new Arena circuit as well. The circuit was finished and at the end of April, the new Arena layout was officially opened by HRH The Duke of York on Thursday 29th April 2010 in front of a VIP audience. We have a special photo report from Mike Jiggle. Click here to see his photographs.

Donington Park to recommence racing in September
In March there was a save Donington rally held at the East Midlands circuit for fans to show their support for Donington Park. Kevin Wheatcroft, son of Tom Wheatcroft who had originally restored and owned the circuit, said that he had several serious groups who wished to organise events at Donington Park, and that he was down to three serious bidders for the lease of the circuit. He insisted that his main aim was to find someone to run the circuit and restore it back to full operation for racing. It has been announced that racing will recommence at the beginning of September with a Masters Festival. Click here to view pictures from the save Donington rally

Superleague and Masters Series opening event.
The Superleague season kicked off at Silverstone on the 3rd and 4th of April. Each car is supported by a leading football team, including Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan, PSV Eindhovan and Brazilian club Corinthians to name but a few. Local drivers James Walker represented Liverpool and fellow British driver Craig Dolby was driving for Tottenham Hotspur. Former Grand Prix drivers Narain Karthikeyan, Sebastian Bourdais
 and Robert Doornbos also now race in the Superleague. With 2 races held over 45 minutes duration, the two winners at Silverstone were Craig Dolby and Sebastian Bourdais. The top six then go forward to the Super Final to decide the overall weekend winner. Local driver Dolby managed to complete a very successful weekend with a second win in the Super Final for Tottenham Hotspur.
Silverstone saw the start to the Grand Prix Masters and World Sports Car Masters series at the beginning of April. Supporting the Super league event round the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit, the Grand Prix Masters had two races over the weekend, and the World Sports Car Masters had a single race on the Sunday.

Race Retro
 

A mixture of static classic motorsport show and a live action rally stage make Race Retro such a great experience. All forms of classic motorsport are available, from historic circuit racing, rallying, motorcycle racing, and drag racing. The outside action allows fans to see some spectacular Group B rally cars perform on a 1/2 mile tarmac stage. This year a new stage was created, nearer to the exhibition halls, and the organisers even created a jump on the fast main straight to provide even more thrills.

Welcome to 2010.
The season has an early start in the UK with the annual Autosport International Racing Car show taking place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), near Birmingham. The show is now in its 20th year, and continues to draw large crowds of fans. This year was no exception. Sir Stirling Moss opened the show to the public on the Saturday morning, but the large crowd had really come to see just one man, the new World Champion Grand Prix driver Jenson Button. Making several appearances over the weekend, Jenson was "blown away" by the level of public support that he received at the show, and found the interactive nature of the show something quite different. He was use to seeing the large fan base at Silverstone, but said that in the car you can't hear the fans, only see them, but at the show he could hear them and talk to them.

HSCC Silverstone "Finals" Historic Race Meeting
The thrilling climax to the Historic Sports Car Clubs season took place at Silverstone on Saturday 17th October 2009. The most exciting race of the day was probably the Historic Saloon car race. A three way battle for the lead between the Jaguar of Graham Dodd, the Lotus Cortina of Dan Cox and the Mustang of Neil Cunningham had the crowd on their feet cheering. After the Jaguar lost the lead part way through the race, Cunningham held a narrow lead from the increasingly side ways Cortina of Cox, taking overall victory in the race by half a second. Cox and Dodd took the other podium places, both winning their respective classes in the race. The Formula 5000/Formula 2 Historic race provided another victory for Michael Lyons in his Lola T400, his margin being nearly half a minute from his nearest challenger Mark Dwyer in another Lola T400. Darwin Smith won the Formula 2 class in his March 722, finishing 4th overall. To see full results and photos from all the races, click here
