The Classic Touring Car Racing Club enjoyed a day to remember at Oulton Park this past Saturday (May 16) as the popular tin top category headlined the first-ever Touring Car Rewind: North meeting.

In what is a new addition to the national motorsport calendar for this season, the one-day spectacle was all about celebrating old-school touring fever; with action including a bumper day of racing, demonstrations, displays and much more.

Fondly remembered by fans for being one of the great periods of the British Touring Car Championship, the Super Touring machines of the 1990s were rumbling once more with the likes of the Volvo 850 Estate and Williams Renault Laguna wowing the crowds.

When it came to the racing, the Pre-66 Touring Cars took fans on a spirited trip down memory lane and it was reigning two-time champion James Ibbotson that emerged as the driver to beat, winning twice in his Hillman Imp Super.

Since winning the title for the second time last year, Ibbotson has not featured on the grid, however he marked his first appearance of the current campaign in style with a dominant double ahead of former champions Ian Thompson and Billy Kenneally.

Nic Grindrod showed similar levels of peerless performance over in the Pre-83 Touring Cars. At the wheel of his Ford Escort, Grindrod got the better of Tom Harvey and Neil Philpotts in a frenetic opener, before then beat reigning champion Jonathan Corker and Nick Williamson in race two.

Fans watching the amalgamated Super Tourer / Pre-93 / Pre-03 and Pre-13 contest could have been forgiven for thinking they’d been transported back to the start of the millennium, owing to the fact that Jason Plato’s old Vauxhall Vectra was setting the pace.

In the hands of former BTCC racer Jason Hughes, the Triple Eight Engineering machine streaked clear as the likes of Vauxhall Cavalier ace Tony Absolom, Ford Mondeo driver AJ Owen and multiple CTCRC champion Ian Bower all gave chase.

Rounding out the CTCRC attractions were two races from the Blue Oval Saloon Series and those in Classic and Historic Thunder. Like others that have gone before him, Joe Collier proved to be the cream of the crop as he too scooped a brace of race wins in his BMW M3.

Also on the billing was the Adrian Flux Insurance MG Owners Club Championship, which wrote the latest chapter of its 2026 season in typically thrilling fashion.

Scott Bugner won a race of attrition in the day’s opening contest as he hustled his MG ZR to the chequered flag less than a second ahead of Jack Woodcock, with James Cole a further few tenths of a second back in arrears.

Race two then saw Lee Bull come to the fore to triumph however the encounter will arguably be remembered for the guest appearance of 1992 BTCC champion turned now ITV4 commentator, Tim Harvey.

Making his debut in the series, Harvey starred as he applied race-long pressure to Bull however despite his best efforts, the experienced racer couldn’t find a way past and ultimately had to settle for runner-up laurels.
