Race Retro, sponsored by Reis Motor Sport Insurance was first held in 2003 and over the past twenty years has established itself as the “go to show” for all U.K. motorsport participants and enthusiasts. The purpose of Race Retro is to allow participants in and suppliers to the sport to show you what they have been doing in the “down” months and what they are planning to do for the new season. It celebrates the different motorsport disciplines such as Formula One, Club Circuit Racing, Rallying, Hill Climbing, 750 Motor Club, Touring Car Championships etc. etc. There is a whole hall populated by stalls selling spare parts, automobilia and food, catering for all needs and tastes. I visited on Saturday 22nd February which was a lovely sunny and mild day, here are a selection of the many photos I took, I hope that they stimulate your interest –
