Peter Auto at Barcelona - Results
Peter Auto started their 2018 season at Barcelona last weekend, with seven of their eight series in action, with he new 2.0 Litre Cup starting at Spa next month.
Over 200 hundred cars were in action, with the Group C field seeing over 20 cars racing, with organisers aiming for 50 at the summer’s Le Mans Classic.
The Spanish event saw the first running of the Greatest’s Trophy, a grid that includes cars that raced in endurance in the 1950-1960s. The imposition of strict ethical rules to reduce risks to the minimum is justified by the fact that these are now very valuable machines. Eighteen exceptional cars did battle: Alfa Romeo TZ (1963), Aston Martin DB2 Vantage (1952), Bizzarrini 5300 GT (1965), Ferrari 250 Belinetta (1960), 250 GT Breadvan (1961), 250 LM (1964), Maserati 300 S (1957), Porsche 718 RSK (1960) and 904 GTS (1964).
