the return of the Daf V8
Double click to insert body text here ...
The famous Tony Hazelwood-built Daf V8 from 1973 made a long overdue return to competitive racing after a 42 year lay off at Donington Park at the end of September. New owner Andy Wilson is a regular competitor using V8 machinery and aquired the car from the Hazelwood family last year. After a thorough overhaul the car was ready and made its racing return in the CSCC Special Saloons + Modsports races. Despite no testing Wilson guided the old girl to 2 finishes in 2 races. Next outing in the series is likely to be the season finale at Mallory Park on November 1st.
