76MM Moss Trophy – race report
Jon Minshaw and Phil Keen came out on top after 45 minutes of thrilling racing to win the Moss Trophy encounter for 1960-62 GT cars. Minshaw was first into Madgwick aboard his Jaguar E-type roadster, chased initially by Tom Alexander’s Aston Martin DB4GT, but all hell broke loose within half a lap after former Formula Three star Martin O’Connell’s E-type cannoned into Gregor Fisken’s similar car.
Minshaw was the first to pit for the driver changeover, Phil Keen matching his searing pace thereafter. Pirro swapped with Lukas Halusa within a lap, but the Ferrari owner couldn’t match the five-time Le Mans winner’s pace. Man on the move was former World Touring Car Champion Rob Huff aboard Richard Meins’ E-type. He steered the Jaguar coupé on its bump stops and was the fastest man on track by a significant margin. He soon jumped the Breadvan, the Young E-type having by now lost several places. Huff gradually reeled-in Keen, but ran out of time to challenge for the win. He was five seconds in arrears at the flag, with Halusa hanging on for third.
