I believe most of the sports cars are from the series that runs each year in Europe.
Whilst most of the drivers in the series could be classified as 'gentleman drivers' they tend not to pussyfoot around.
Watch out for Chris Childs in the 'flying pizza', and Charlie Agg in the of the M8s - I think they were going, last time I heard.
Enjoy

Yeah, I saw Charles Agg bullfight a March 707 up the Goodwood hill last year - it was just huge! I thought he'd never get that thundering machine around the corners but he really went for it - and that says something, considering the car was as wide as the country lane he was driving on! With his surprising speed he beat some very respectable opposition in the process.
I remember he outran the likes of McRae and Burns in their WRCs (looking quite uncomfortable on tarmac) and quite a few F1 machines and sportscars from the eighties. I suppose Charlie just saw the hill as a one-mile drag strip...
Cheers,
R.D

One Mile drag stip - with pike?
Seriously, though, I've heard that the BRM, among others, isn't coming. Which is a real pity. The Maybach will be there, however.
