2010 MSA Classic - Entries Filling Fast for Rockingham Start

A rare 1913 Buick Tourer, one of only 2 left in the world, and the winner of Volvo's "One in a Million" in 1992 are just two examples of the many fascinating cars that will feature at the Rockingham start of one of Britain's best-loved classic car events.

Starting from our brand new venue at Rockingham, after 25 minutes' driving time on the International Super Sports Car Circuit, participants will enjoy a high octane visit to the Porsche Experience Centre where they can take the rare chance to drive their own cars on Porsche's handling circuit. A stop at the 306th Bombardment Group Museum with its collection of memorabilia, photographs and displays that will transport you back in time to the Second World War will offer pause for thought, before an afternoon stop at Kelmarsh Hall, set in beautiful romantic gardens and surrounded by its own working estate. The day will culminate with more laps of Rockingham Circuit.

Andrew Coe, chief executive of event organiser International Motor Sports Ltd (IMS), is delighted with the quality of entries so far: "Every year the event attracts a unique range of classic cars, all with a fascinating story to tell. We very much look forward to our new venue at Rockingham for what is guaranteed to be another special and memorable event for everyone involved."

Although entries are filling up fast, there are a limited number of Rockingham places still available. The entry fee for this route is only £125, regardless of the number of people in the car. All motor enthusiasts are welcome, but cars must have been built before 31 December 1989. Further information is available on www.msaclassics.co.uk or by contacting IMS directly on 01753 765 100.
