17 September 2004

Dry weather, contrary to the forecast, drew a crowd of some 12,000 people to the Vintage Sports-Car Club's SeeRed event over the weekend of 11-12 September, to witness a splendid pageant of vintage and historic racing, coupled with the chance to see Ferrari Formula One cars in action.

Star amongst the attractions was Ferrari Formula One test driver, Andrea Bertolini who unofficially broke the National circuit lap record with a time of 54.937 seconds. Driving a 2002 championship winning car, the Scuderia Ferrari's best lap was 0.922 seconds inside the official lap record set last year by Scott Manell in a Formula Boss Race.

Considerable interest was generated by the Aon Classic Car Concours over the weekend with the judges awarding first price of £2,500 to the Jaguar Drivers Club, with David Eynon's superb 1964 Daimler 2.5 V8.

News o nnext year's event will be posted on the official event website, www.see-red.uk.com as it becomes available, along with reports from the 2004 event.
