80th Members' Meeting race results | GRR
Here we are again. In a flash, another Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport is signed, sealed and delivered. It might have been the best yet, with an action-packed weekend of dramatic racing, spectacular demos, fun for all the family and smiles all round. Of course while the incredible GT1 cars, GMA T.50s, Brabhams and Bentleys made for stunning paddock jewellery and jaw-dropping demos, 80MM is a race meeting. It’s the races that make a race meeting and happily, over the course of our two days, we featured 15 of them.
Each had its moments of madness though stand-outs included the Gordon Spice Trophy, featuring rough-and-tumble battles throughout all heats, the Jim Clark Trophy featuring a grid of Lotus Cortinas fighting door-to-door and the Tony Gaze Trophy, with entrants displaying exemplary car control.
With entries spanning eight decades, from the S.F. Edge Trophy, to the Gordon Spice Trophy, here are the podium-placing wreath-wearers of the 80th Members’ Meeting.
