Morgan TT at Bentley Drivers Club

The Morgan TT (Techniques Trophy) is being launched at the Bentley Drivers Club Meeting on August 19th at Silverstone. The race is open to all 4/4 and +4 Morgans.

The Morgan TT is the brainchild of Brian Gateson of Techniques, Morgan Service and Motorsports Dealer, â€œI wanted to put something back into Morgan motorsport after supporting Morgan racing for over 15 yearsâ€

Richard Shepherd Barron has kindly agreed to present the Morgan TT - other than Richards success at Le Mans you might not know that he was ultra competitive in a +4 Morgan, winning his class twice at the Brands Hatch BRSCC meetings in 1961, beating Chris Lawrence in the process! Richard was behind the wheel of a Morgan again in 1962, competing at Spa where after a spirited drive, he finished 2nd behind a Porsche. He was leading Chris again in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood but then went out of the race with a broken piston with Chris going on to a fine 2nd place. ...... and Richard has never owned a Morgan!

Leigh points out that Octane (August) has a short promo on the race.

Regs should be out soon.

Sadly I can't be there as it's the same weekend as my next Fiesta meeting (a double header at Anglesey, so I can't exactly nip back after), but that sounds like a good group of cars! Good luck everyone, do we have enough for a 4 cylinder team in the Birkett again now?

Iâ€™m willing to hire a suitable car if anyone has anything available !!
Or, John, perhaps your pre â€“ war car may have its engine repaired by then ?
