HRDC To Revive Willhire Racing From the 1980s

Julius Thurgood, founder and Race Director of the HRDC, is planning a reunion for cars which originally competed in the Willhire 24 Hour, Britain’s first 24-Hour  race.

The Willhire 24 Hour, initially conceived for production cars, was held at between 1980 and 1994. Over the years, the race included both sports and saloon cars, although in later years it ran FIA GpN cars running in the National Saloon Car Cup, which was run by the BRSCC.
