A sun-drenched Brands Hatch welcomed the Lansdowners for round four of our championship. Such an iconic venue that’s dripping in race history of which 50s and 60s machines like our’s were a big part of. The hosting NG club’s format includes a 10 minute practice, followed by the usual qualifying and with a dry track…
Round three of the 2024 Lansdowne series comes from Donington Park, a real favourite with our riders. With weather forecast good, the paddock crammed with smiling faces, the scene is set. With the TT on and folk on holiday we still managed a healthy entry of 23 pilots all primed and ready for some classic Donington…
Squelch – squelch! whose idea was this to come to Darley Moor on a Friday evening? Rain mixed with half the surrounding field produced a paddock better suited to winter motocross.

Through the visor of Tony Perkins We threw the blooming kitchen sink at this one, Donington Park,Classic Festival, end of July, with our Lansdowne family and friends. We were to experience every emotion going, the highs and lows of our beloved sport and everything in-between. Let’s begin. Arrival had the Lansdowne Team mark our area…

A tent billowing headwind up the start/finish straight encouraged a right tight tuck in position with added streamlining gained by…
Through the visor of Tony Perkin Arriving on Thursday evening for this the Stan Woods meeting, torrential rain made the prospect of racing look grim. But once all ‘the righteous’ were assembled at Pembrey circuit for the first round of our championship, hosted by the CRMC, the clouds parted and as most of the country…
