Classic cars on the Tour of Cheshire historic car rally 2022 | Sights & sounds of Austins, Fords etc

Описание: The "Tour of Cheshire" historic car rally is organised by the Knutsford & District Motor Club, and takes place annually across various different stages hosted both in Cheshire and in neighbouring counties, as was the case this year (2022).
A number of stages took place in neighbouring Shropshire this year, one of which was at the Rednal Karting Centre, a former WW2 RAF airfield. Later in the day the vintage & classic cars taking part headed back to Cheshire for further stages.
We decided to head over to Rednal in the morning and catch the cars there, then we headed across to Oulton Park for their arrival at 3pm for further timed action. The last time we headed over to Rednal was in 2019 for the Rally of the Tests event, so we knew that it'd be an interesting watch given that the same karting track would be used for the Tour of Cheshire.
A large number of classic cars took part (over 70), the oldest pair being a Ford Model A and a Bentley 3-Litre, both of which were driven with great gusto and aplomb, both flying the flag for pre-war cars.
The majority of cars though were from the 1960s, 1970s & 1980s, these included cars such as Volvo PV544 & Amazons, Ford Escort Mk1s & Mk2s, Mini Coopers, Austin A40 Farinas, MGBs, Opel Kadetts, Porsche 911s, Hillman Hunter, Imp & Avenger, Triumph 2000s, VW Golfs, Porsche 924, Triumph GT6 Mk2, TR4s/TR4As, Alfa Romeos, VW Beetle, Reliant Sabre Six, Lancia Fulvia, Datsun Z and many more.
Some drivers and navigators pressed on more than others, but it looked like everyone was enjoying themselves.
It's always neat to see older cars being used competitively, I didn't notice any significant damage on any of the cars and it's better that they're used than left sat in a garage.
Even if classic car rallying isn't really your thing, I hope this video is of interest as - unlike with a static classic car show report - the cars can be heard and seen being driven, and their distinctive engine notes (especially the straight six engines in the big Triumphs) and - in the case of the Minis - their whining straight-cut gearboxes, enjoyed.
