Thanks from the BRDC

Sir,

The British Racing Drivers Club and Silventone Circuits would like to thank everyone involved in The Coys International Historic Festival, presented by Chrysler (July 25-27), particularly the marshals and volunteers who worked so hard to make the event such a success. To do so just two weeks after their outstanding efforts at the British Grand Prix shows great dedication to motorsport.

Thanks also to the owners who brought their fabulous machines from around the world (there were over 750 Ferraris alone), the traders who presented such a wide variety of stands, the motor clubs, our sponsors, Coys of Kensington, Chrysler, and the participants on the Footman James RetroRun especially those entrants in period dress who added extra colour to the proceedings.

Over 62,000 people attended this year’s Festival thanks again to all of you for helping to entertain them so well.

I am yours etc,

John Fitzpatrick, Secretary, British Racing Drivers Club, Towcester, Northants
