2024 Graham Hill Trophy highlights
Between the Cobras, Mustangs, Corvettes, TVRs and the Chevy-engined Bizzarrinis, you might imagine the E-types, Porsches and diminutive Lotus Elans would feel a little intimidated.
Not a bit of it. Right up there in the mix were the Lotus Elan 26R of Nigel Greensall in seventh and the Porsche 904 Carrera GTS of Oli Bryant in sixth. The might of the Cobras, TVRs and Bizzarrinis is undeniable though, with Alex Buncombe, Miles Griffiths and James Thorpe putting each respectively in first, second and third. The big Shelby GT350s proved powerful but were consummately out handled, with the best car of Nick Sleep making 20th.
Come Sunday's race Buncombe got a great start but Griffiths remained in close contact to make the most of any opportunity. And make the most of it he did, eventually overcoming the Cobra to take victory. Further down the order the battle between the Porsche of Bryant and the Lotus of Greensall made for nail-biting viewing. The video above shows some great on-board from the Elan as Greensall clings on to the tail of the Stuttgart machine. Battles between Cobras and E-types also entertained.
