The last two SuperSixties races took place at Magny-Cours, the former Grand Prix circuit in France. With seven contenders still in the running, the top three separated by just a few points, it was an exciting weekend. Qualifying: Lotus Elans rule Bob Stevens was the man to beat in SuperSixties qualifying at Magny-Cours. Jan van […]
Qualifying: Lotus Elan vs. Porsche 904 Jan van der Kooi was the man to beat in SuperSixties qualifying at the ADAC Hansa weekend on the Assen TT-Circuit. For a long time it looked like we would have an all Lotus Elan front row, with Luc de Cock second fastest, until one of the Rappange brothers […]
Qualifying: I can see clearly now After a lot of rain, SuperSixties was blessed with a dry track for qualifying at the Most Autodrome. The big GTP cars set the pace. Kennet Persson (Ford GT40), Michiel Campagne (Corvette Grand Sport) and Jan Kling/Robert Enested (GT40) claimed p. 1-2-3 on the grid. Fourth fastest was Luc […]
SuperSixties, the racing series for pre-1966 historic touring cars and GTs, is continuing its journey along the circuits of Europe. This time, the destination is the Czech Republic. We have two races scheduled for the last weekend of August at the Autodrom Most. It will be an impressive spectacle, as there are currently 45 entries, […]

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 […]
