Oulton Park Gold Cup 50th Anniversary
Photographs of historic road and racing cars seen at Oulton
Late in August 2004, the Cheshire circuit of Oulton Park held its Gold Cup meeting, for historic competition cars.
Organised by the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC), a wide variety of racing cars were seen doing their thing around this classic Cheshire circuit. 2004 was especially significant, as it was the 50th Anniversary of the Gold Cup meeting. Part of the celebrations included the appearance of several famous names from the history of motorsport - including Sir Jack Brabham and Roy Salvadori (both winners of the Gold Cup), each of whom recounted stories about their personal experiences at Oulton Park from the past.
Below are some of the photos I took during this weekend. The limitations of my camera mean that a few of the on-track pictures are not super quality, but hopefully they'll still give some background to this meeting.
You can see more photos of historic cars on the main car photos page.
