The Austin Healey Club and BARC

Thruxton Event Management Team

Members of the AH50 event organisation team have joined forces with BARC to create a wonderful programme of events for the two day festival 50th anniversary celebration at Thruxton. Circuit Manager, Tom Jones commented "When we were first approached about the possibility of hiring out the Thruxton circuit to the Austin Healey Club for this event, we were extremely keen to help the team realise their ambitions. All of us at Thruxton are looking forward eagerly to the two day festival. It will be a most memorable occasion for us as well as the Club guests, the overseas visitors and general public."

These photographs were taken at the first race meeting of the season at Thruxton on 24th March. With thanks to Alan Cross, Peter Taylor, Mark Spray and Hugo Holland-Boswell.
