	The Van de Vyver “VHC” cars had a full six hours to limber up after a sedentary winter, and the little 2-litre prototype sports cars played cat and mouse with Frank Ferrer and Yvan Mahé’s Lola T70 Spider, whose massive V8 required more frequent refuelling stops.

Royal Automobile Club Tourist Trophy for Historic Cars

Historic Tourist Trophy to race at Silverstone

The organisers of the Pre-‘63GT race, Ben Cussons and Carol Spagg are delighted to announce that the Royal Automobile Club have bestowed the honour of presenting the winner with the Tourist Trophy for Historic Cars to the winner of the Pre-‘63GT race at the 2010 Silverstone.

First competed for in 1905, the Tourist Trophy is the oldest continuous motor sport trophy in the world, spanning over a century of sports and GT racing. Some of the greatest names of the sport have won the trophy, including seven times winner, Stirling Moss, Graham Hill, Tazio Nuvolari and Rudolf Caracciola. The Historic Tourist Trophy will celebrate the unique history of the race by presenting a stunning grid of cars including many genuine ex-TT competitors. Former two times winner, Stuart Graham, the only man alive to have won Tourist Trophies on two and four wheels will be among the famous names vying for victory.

“After the success of last year’s race, we are delighted that the Royal Automobile Club has chosen to award the winner with the Tourist Trophy for Historic cars, it vindicates the efforts made to attract genuine cars conforming to period specification,” said Ben Cussons.

The Pre-‘63GT race was inaugurated at the Silverstone Classic in 2009 and such was the favourable reaction to the concept, it has evolved into a mini series with rounds at Monza, Dijon, culminating with the Historic TT finale at Silverstone in July.
