The HSCC has a wide range of cars competing in their championships, from single seaters racers to sports cars of the 1970s. Giving you, the spectator and photographer a nice variety of cars to capture trackside at this Lincolnshire circuit. 

As with all racing of this type, the HSCC will run similar cars in a race that will be competing in different classes. This can be confusing for the casual observer but the commentators kept us up to speed over the weekend on the individual battles. 

When I arrived on Saturday morning the qualifying was already underway for the Guards Trophy and GT cars. The Guards Trophy is for cars that that raced internationally before 1966. 

The qualifying was for grid position in the afternoon races, with the Jaguar E-types and Marcos out and the demure Lotus Elans speeding round the circuit it made the trip worth it, even with my unplanned tour round the Lincolnshire Wolds. 

When I'm out at the track I will usually get an image of everything that goes past but I like to concentrate on interesting cars that you don’t see very often, or ones that have an interesting livery. 

However, the rest of the field were just as interesting with the Jaguar E-type driven by Adam Bagnall standing out. Not just because it was an E-type but because of the great colour and how big these cars are. I haven't seen one on track for a while and when you see it next to a tiny Triumph Spitfire you realize how big these cars are, or is the Spitfire is very small, or as Farther Ted would say "very far away"?

The other interesting vehicles were the Historic Road Sports series for cars registered between 1947 and 1968. If the car is driven to the track to compete they will get extra points and a hell of a lot of respect from me.

Watching these cars go round Hall Bends Kevin Kivlochan was bouncing the AC Cobra off the curbs on every lap. Most of the other racers had a bit more sympathy for their machines. Kivlochan went onto win Class A and both races over the weekend so maybe that is the right line, I think it is.

However, the Cobra was the only car representing class A, the race was in Class C where a handful of Lotuses were battling it out for second overall and first in class, Rodger Lee in car 14 went onto be the eventual Class C winner.

Next out were the Historic Formula 3. Over 20 went past before I gave up counting; an excellent turnout for these race cars of yesteryear. 

I must mention Jason Timms in the Brabham BT21 who arrived sideways at the Hairpin right in front of me. Not the sharpest picture I have taken, but in my defence I was maneouvering in the opposite direction with some speed. There was no danger or any chance of any contact at my location, it was an instinctive movement by me when I saw him through my view finder heading straight at me!

There were a few other drivers who put on a show for me during the day. Darren Wilson in a Lotus 23B cut the corner and a lot of the grass at the entrance to Hall Bends.

But the best slide of the day by far was Barry Webb, who lost it just after the bridge entering the Mountain complex. A few pirouettes with cars passing left and right and no contact at all thankfully. The quote "I got this" springs to mind. At least I managed to get these nearly sharp. 

The Historic Formula Fords for cars built ,and more importantly, raced before 1972 were also out in good numbers. The cars have a 1600cc powerplant which doesn’t sound much these days but being low to the ground and having a light chassis they were fair flying round the mini Nürburgring. 

Cameron Jackson, who is a local lad, was at his home circuit in the number 7 Winkelman WDF2 for the Historic Formula Ford races. He took two pole positions and two race wins. Sounds like an easy ride but he only just took the first race win by the closest of margins from number 43 Cullum Grant. 

There was loads of other racing over the weekend but to finish off our report the BRISCA Heritage Stock Cars did a few demonstration laps during lunch, escorted round by the circuit safety cars. Stock Cars' natural habitat is the dirt track so they looked a little out of place on the smooth tarmac of Cadwell. But, they were having fun revving up these old school beasts to the enjoyment of the crowds at the cafe.

Once the demo laps were done the Stock Cars parked up in the exhibitor's area where you could get up close to the cars and have a chat to the drivers. This is a part of the days' racing that MSV and the management at Cadwell have nailed. 

That concludes our coverage of the Historic Sports Car Club at Cadwell Park. We had two shooters out for this event. Graeme Taylor Images was using the latest Nikon D500 matched to a Sigma 70-200mm APO DG HSM and a Sigma 17-50 F2.8 EX HSM, which I think you will agree produces some excellent results. 

Thanks to Graeme Taylor Images for the great pictures and helping out on this project. You can check out more of his work in the Photographers section and at his his website.
