Historic Motorsport International - Stage Schedule
A feature of last year’s Historic Motorsport International were the interviews and panel discussions hosted by Henry Hope-Frost, and the line-up for this this year’s discussions looks equally exciting.

Panellist include names such as FIA Historic Formula One driver Nick Padmore, preparer Rob Hall, and Alan Jones from the HSCC.
Saturday sees two sessions picking up the on the Getaway cars theme of the co-joined London Classic Cars Show featuring TV cop Philip ‘fire up the mighty Quattro’ Glenister, then discussions with car designer Frank Stephenson, Paul Brace, technical Director of Eagle cars (the E-Type re-imagineers, sadly, nothing to do with the late Dan Gurney) and a Q7A on classic cars with Quentin Wilson.
