I am sure the 67 teams that made up the largest Birkett Entry in history in 2012, do not consider the event to be "wrecked," the ethos of the Birkett is to bring together the whole club racing community for a good value and fun end of season event. The fact that Caterhams are so well represented is simply a sign of the huge success they had enjoyed and the market share that they possess in national motorsport.
The fact that some of the teams that have long been part of Birkett history, now feel that the speed differentials are sufficiently high that they do not wish to race, has led us to the idea of the "Historic Birkett."
It will be a 4 Hour Race and it will be at Snetterton on the 300 circuit, replicas and continuation cars will be allowed, but every entry is subect to the scrutiny and approval of the organisers to ensure it is within the spirit of the event.
We have had our first 4 entries, which is excellent and they comprise 2 x teams of Morgans, 1 x team of MGB's and a team of genuine period Lotus 7's. Our own 750 Trophy Series are working on running 3 teams, Bentley Drivers Club 2 teams, so hopefully with a few more it will be a great event!
