SATURDAY, SUNDAY
What a week! It began with a lingering visit to one of the few motor shows I’d never attended: Race Retro in the old Royal Showground at Stoneleigh Park, south of Coventry. You can feast your eyes on all kinds of racing cars from newish to very old and watch some healthy ones (rally cars) being driven in anger on tracks just outside the main pavilions.
It’s a friendly, slightly homespun event, busy but not rammed, where you can feel everyone’s anticipation for the impending race season.
