New body set to protect and police historic racing

A NEW NOT-FOR-PROFIT organisation has been set up to 'preserve the rich legacy of motorsport and promote historic car racing on an international level.

- 

The group has held its first meeting at the Royal Automobile Club and elected a raft of specialists to its steering committee.

They include the likes of Patrick Peter, who last year retired from historic motorsport behemoth Peter Auto; long-term Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion kingpin Barry Toepke; Andy Dee-Crowne, CEO of the HSCC; plus Historic Motor Racing News editor Carol Spagg.
