50 years of Chevron at Race Retro

| 21 Nov 2014

A celebration of Chevron Racing will headline Race Retro 2015 to mark the firm's golden jubilee, while the 10th anniversary of rally star Richard Burns' death will also be remembered. 

The event, which is slated to take place at Stoneleigh Park from 20-22 February, is set to pay homage to Chevron Racing with a special 'Speed Street' display. A diverse array of Chevrons will be on show, with a special emphasis placed on the designs of Derek Bennett.

Meanwhile, a selection of Richard Burns' former rally cars will be arranged in remembrance of the 2001 World Rally Champion, who died of a brain tumour in 2004. 

The 50th anniversary of Mike Hailwood's 500cc World Motorcycle Championship will also be marked with a special display in the motorbike hall.

Away from the show halls, organisers have arranged what they claim is the most challenging demonstration course in the event's history. Dozens of classic rally cars are poised to take to the circuit, including a handful of Group B cars. 

Perennial favourites such as the Metro 6R4, Audi quattro and Rover SD1 are sure to put in an appearance – and equally likely to play fast and loose with the marshals' instructions to keep off the grass!

A massive autojumble will fill the event's outbuildings, which will also give visitors the chance to wander around the race cars as they're being prepared for their hot laps.
