The Classic Touring Car Racing Club helped celebrate a golden era of tin top racing at Brands Hatch this past weekend (June 28/29) as its roster of championships took centre stage at Super Touring Power 3.

Running a third year in succession, the two-day event delivered unmissable nostalgia on both the Grand Prix and Indy layouts of the Kent circuit – with a special focus on machinery from the British Touring Car Championship’s popular ‘90s period.

Touring car heritage featured across the plethora of displays, demonstrations and guest appearances off-track however it was the action on circuit that had everyone captivated over the course of the weekend.

Three Super Tourer races were the undoubted headline acts of the meeting and on Saturday it was Michael Lyons that reigned supreme as he claimed bragging rights on the world-famous Grand Prix layout.

Driving a Honda Accord that had been shipped from New Zealand especially to contest the weekend’s races, Lyons got the better of four-time BTCC champion Colin Turkington – driving a Vauxhall Vectra – off the line however he didn’t have it for long.

Turkington would fight his way back into the lead soon after and then set about pulling clear of the chasing pack. Sadly though a mechanical issue would bring the Northern Irishman to a halt and gift Lyons the lead, which he duly converted into victory.

The Vectra would bounce back on Sunday around the Indy circuit however with Turkington switching to an MG ZR, former BTCC racer Jason Hughes got behind the wheel and charged to an impressive brace of race wins in the striking red and white machine.

Elsewhere another BTCC racer from recent years, Sam Tordoff, underlined his credentials as he guided his immaculately prepared Ford Mustang to four wins from four races in the Everard Pre-66 Touring Cars.

The Classic Thunder Saloons and Blue Oval Saloon Series staged a handful of races together, with the spoils being shared between Adrian Bradley and Alex Sidwell. Jonatan Corker meanwhile was flawless when it came to the Burty Pre-1983 Touring Cars.

One of the biggest grids of the weekend was found when the Group 1, Pre-93 and Pre-03 contingents amalgamated together. More than 40 cars battled for supremacy but in the end victory fell the way of Paul Mensley in his Ford Sierra RS500.
