Last Saturday at the Silverstone Classic celebrity drivers raced Morgan Roadsters lent by very trusting owners in aid of the Bobby Moore fund for Cancer Research UK.
After some very competitive action in the lead Rick Parfitt Jnr, Brendan Cole and Heston Blumenthal gained podium places, the rest of the field including Luther Blisset, who rolled his car three times, Jimmy Akingbola, Paul O’Duffy, Vicky Gomersall, Lee McQeen, Alexander Nall-Cain, Paul Stewart, ‘Comedy’ Dave Vitty, Sally Traffic , Jo Wood and Zoe Cole.
As Rick’s an experienced racer his place on the podium was a foregone conclusion but Brendan and Heston were determined to be up there with him this time and obviously enjoyed themselves hugely.
Unfortunately Jo Wood’s paperwork was late so she couldn’t compete, the same fate suffered by Vicky Gomersall, but Sally and Zoe took on the challenge.
At one point I walked round a corner and there holding out her hand for shaking was Suzy Quattro! I’ve snapped her here with Rick, along with the winners, Sally, Jo and Zoe, the gorgeous girls.
