Donington Historic Festival 2016

Denis Welch Motorsport Powers Jaguar E-Type to Outright Win in the Jaguar Classic Challenge

Donington Historic Festival Race Report

Jaguar Classic Challenge

The Denis Welch Motorsport powered and prepared Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Coupe of Julian Thomas and co-driver Calum Lockie started the Jaguar Classic Challenge from pole position. The race saw a mixture of dry weather, light rain and monsoon like downpours, making for very challenging driving conditions. 

A good wet setup proved to be the right strategy and the Jaguar came home to take victory 6 seconds ahead of the 2nd place car, another Denis Welch engined E-Type. 

Congratulations to all drivers and members of the team who made this very busy weekend such a successful one.
