This video might be just one minute and 29 seconds long, but the lead changes no fewer than five times. Five times.
This is the fight between Richard Woolmer and James Colburn in the Weslake Cup at the 75th Members’ meeting. Woolmer’s 1961 Austin Healey Sebring Sprite seems set-up to fly sideways, while Colburn’s 1959 Lenham Sprite GT looks as though it can’t quite match its opposite number for pace in a straight line. The result is a battle to match anything at Members’ Meeting. At one point Woolmer tries his luck round the outside at Fordwater before Colburn dives up the inside at St Mary’s. Bravo gentlemen, bravo.
