Jack Lewis, and co-driver Kim Watkins, went for a slight slide in the mountains of rural Mexico during the 4th day of the 2009 La Carrera Panamericana Race. The car was quickly repaired and the duo finished the race in Nueva Laredo, 3 days later. What an adventure!

Pre-’63 GT
Mini Series in 2010
Having organised a successful Pre-’63 GT race at the Silverstone Classic in July, Carol Spagg and Ben Cussons have agreed with Classic organisers to do it again next year, and it will once again be one of the main feature races of the three-day event.
So keen were the drivers and Classic organisers, that Carol and Ben have agreed to run a three-race series in 2010, starting at the Monza Coppa Intereuropa meeting in early June and culminating at the Silverstone Classic at the end of July, with a race at Dijon between these to events in June. A sponsor who is sympathetic to the idea of cars running in their original specification is being sought for what promises to be a very special series, with organisers agreeing to feature these races at their events and make special paddock and other arrangements for the cars.
“It is important that we make the cars’ originality a priority”, said Cussons. “We can’t have people bringing out cars with historic pedigree only to have them blown away by modern replicas.” “We’ve had a lot of interest and I think there will be no problem filling the grids with like-minded people”, said Carol Spagg, “But if it comes to it, we would rather not fill the grids than accept cars that have an unfair advantage”. “We fully support the idea of a series of these cars, with a finale at the Silverstone Classic”, said Classic organiser, Ken Prichard Jones. We enjoyed seeing them race this year and having a couple more races over the season can only encourage more drivers to dust off some of the treasures they’ve kept in the garage for too long”.
