Qualifying: drying but slippery Although the rain had stopped, the track was still very slippery when qualifying started. Two red flags did not help. They were not for anything serious, just cars with electrical issues. Jan van der Kooi and Philippe Vermast claimed the front row in their nimble but nervous Lotus Elans. Oliver Douglas […]
Qualifying: make some noise! SuperSixties kicked off Saturday’s proceedings at Zandvoort with an old fashioned 40-minute qualifying session. Noise was always going to be a problem, especially for the V8’s, and we saw some black flags appear during the session. Jan van der Kooi set the benchmark early on with a 2:02 lap in his […]
Qualifying: record numbers out on track! With a record 53 cars on track, SuperSixties 2025 kicked off at a sunny Spa-Francorchamps. With GT40’s, Corvette Grand Sports and Cobra Daytonas leading the V8 brigade it was a surprise to see a little Lotus Elan topping the timesheets. We do not know whether it was Lando or […]

Qualifying: hares and hounds Frank Weidema opened proceedings with a gravel trap excursion. After a Manitou pulled him out and sent him on his way, qualifying proper could get underway. A couple of Sports 2000 hares kept the SuperSixties drivers eager. Kennet Persson was fastest in the Ford GT40 in 1:35.5 with Sautter/Newall in the […]
Qualifying – Jaguar on top It looked like another E-type versus Lotus Elan battle was on the cards at this year’s Tabac Classic GP. Andy Newall/Rhea Sautter took pole in the Jaguar E-type, with Bob Stevens second in the first of the Lotuses. Alexander Weiss set third fastest time in the blue Elan he shares […]
It had been 8 years since SuperSixties, or NKHTGT as we were still called then, last raced at Brands. And what a lovely track it is, quite challenging, with a super old school atmosphere, perfect for our kind of historic racing. Qualifying – old hands and newbies An eventful qualifying session kicked off the SuperSixties […]
Qualifying: It was wet! From the assembly area we could all see the rooster tails of the historic F1 cars. Yes, qualifying was going to be wet. It also started 30 minutes late as some of the F1 cars had to be craned away first… While most drivers were still finding their feet, Olivier Hart […]
